Official title
Dietary Protein in the Very-low-birth-weight Infant: Effects of the Level of Dietary Protein on Growth and Feeding Tolerance
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In this randomized study The investigators aim to compare the growth of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants fed either a high protein or a standard protein preterm infant formula. Babies will be fed the assigned formula between the time they achieve full enteral feeds and hospital discharge, for a minimum of 3 weeks. The weight gain (g/d) will be measured and compared between groups. Feeding tolerance, protein-energy status and body composition between the study groups will also be analysed. After discharge, babies will be fed a post-discharge preterm infant formula (PDF) between hospital discharge and 3 m corrected age.
