Description
Summary:Preterm infants, especially those with very low birth weight, are more susceptible to nutritional deficiencies and growth restriction after hospital discharge than term infants. To investigate the association between energy and protein intake and nutritional evolution of preterm infants during the first year of life of corrected age after hospital discharge. This is a retrospective longitudinal study with 131 preterm infants born at a high-risk neonatal clinic. Neonates born at
