Minimal enteral feeding within 3 d of birth in prematurely born infants with birth weight </=1200 g improves bone mass by term age

BACKGROUND: Evidence-based practice guidelines for aggressive nutritional intervention by using parenteral amino acids (AAs) and minimal enteral feeding (MEF) as early as the first day of life have not been tested for benefits to bone mass. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether early introduction of pa...

Description
Summary:BACKGROUND: Evidence-based practice guidelines for aggressive nutritional intervention by using parenteral amino acids (AAs) and minimal enteral feeding (MEF) as early as the first day of life have not been tested for benefits to bone mass. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether early introduction of parenteral AAs and MEF improves growth and bone mass achieved by term age in infants born prematurely. DESIGN: Twenty-seven infants who were
