Nutritional therapies in the neonatal intensive care unit and post‐natal growth outcomes of preterm very low birthweight Asian infants

Abstract

Being very preterm, ELBW with hsPDA and receiving insufficient protein and energy were risk factors for severe PNGF. Increasing protein and energy content, augmenting fortification of breast milk and concentrating feed volumes, especially if there is an hsPDA, may curb severe PNGF among these infants.
