Outcome of Kangaroo Mother Care in Preterm, Low Birth Weight Neonates; A Randomized Control Trial

Abstract

In a recent meta-analysis, based on 13 randomized control trials, the researchers concluded that the neonates care with KMC at least 6 hours per day got significant weight gain as compared to the Non-KMC group with a mean difference 8.99 gm per day. They also concluded that the infants received KMC for less or equal to 02 hours per day not showed a significant difference in weight gain as compared to controls.16
