Abstract
Objective: To study the effects of rapid enteral feed advancement with early feed fortification in stable very low birth weight (VLBW) infants >30 weeks gestation.
Study design: Preterm infants (N = 92) were randomized to a) rapid feed advancement-early fortification - REF group (enteral feed advanced at 25-30 ml/kg/day, fortification at 50 ml/kg/day) or b) slow feed advancement-late fortification-SLF group (feed advanced at 15-20 ml/kg/day, fortification at 100 ml/kg/day).
Results: The primary outcome-time to regain birth weight was significantly lower in REF group (9 days vs 13 days, P = 0.02). REF group reached full enteral feeds earlier (6 days vs 9 days, P = 0.001), had lower rates of sepsis (13% vs 38%, P = 0.007) and shorter hospital stay (10 days vs 15 days, P = 0.01). At one year, the median Z-scores for weight [-1.5 vs -2.2, P < 0.001] and head circumference [1.1 vs 0, P < 0.001) were significantly higher in the REF group.
Conclusions: In VLBW preterm infants >30 weeks, rapid feed advancement with early fortification resulted in early postnatal regain of birth weight with positive effects on growth at one year.
研究目的研究设计:研究设计:早产儿(N = 92)被随机分为 a) 快速进食-早期强化-REF 组(肠道进食量为 25-30 毫升/千克/天,强化量为 50 毫升/千克/天)或 b) 缓慢进食-晚期强化-SLF 组(进食量为 15-20 毫升/千克/天,强化量为 100 毫升/千克/天):结果:REF 组恢复出生体重的主要时间明显较短(9 天 vs 13 天,P = 0.02)。REF组较早实现完全肠内喂养(6天 vs 9天,P = 0.001),脓毒症发生率较低(13% vs 38%,P = 0.007),住院时间较短(10天 vs 15天,P = 0.01)。一岁时,体重 Z 值中位数[-1.5 vs -2.2,P 结论:-1.5 vs -2.2]与一岁时的体重 Z 值中位数[-1.5 vs -2.2,P 结论:-1.5 vs -2.2]相比,均有显著下降:对于大于 30 周的 VLBW 早产儿,通过早期添加营养强化剂快速增加喂养量可在产后早期恢复出生体重,并对一年后的生长产生积极影响。
