Association between early enteral nutrition and length of stay in neonates with congenital bowel obstruction: A retrospective cohort study

The optimal feeding strategy for postoperative neonatal patients with congenital bowel obstruction is widely debated. This study aims to evaluate perioperative characteristics and postoperative nutrition practices for patients with congenital bowel obstruction. We hypothesized that earlier introduct...

Summary:The optimal feeding strategy for postoperative neonatal patients with congenital bowel obstruction is widely debated. This study aims to evaluate perioperative characteristics and postoperative nutrition practices for patients with congenital bowel obstruction. We hypothesized that earlier introduction of enteral nutrition (EN) is associated with shorter hospital stays and increased weight gain velocities. We performed a retrospective cohort study on neonatal patients (
