Official title
Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing FFM-indexed Feeding vs. Standard Feeding in LGA Infants With Oral Feeding Difficulty and Disproportionate Body Composition.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Large for Gestational Age (LGA) infants have excess fat-mass (FM) proportion secondary to prolonged in utero exposure to an energy-rich environment. Our preliminary data suggest that excess FM proportion can be associated with oral feeding delay and a potentially modifiable therapeutic target to improve oral feeding outcomes. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of a short-term Fat-free mass (FFM)-indexed feeding on the oral intake volumes in LGA infants with oral feeding difficulties.
