Context: Understanding the biological rhythms and stress response in sick newborns is important to minimize the negative effects of intensive care. Salivary cortisol has been used as a noninvasive surrogate marker of adrenal function; however, understanding of its control variables is insufficient.Objective: To investigate the presence of feeding-induced cortisol response and its control variables in newborns.Design, Setting, and Patients: Fifty-three newborn infants, who were between 30 and 40 weeks' corrected age and were on 3-hourly regular oral/enteral feeding, were recruited between January 2013 and June 2014.Main Outcome Measure: Saliva samples were collected before and 1 hour after regular feeding. Dependence of cortisol levels (adjusted for postnatal age) and their feeding-related elevation on clinical variables was assessed by using generalized estimating equations.Results: Higher cortisol levels were associated with corrected age >= 37 weeks and saliva samples collected after feeding (both P < 0.001). Oral feeding was associated with a greater feeding-induced cortisol response compared with exclusive enteral feeding (P = 0.034), whereas a prolonged feeding duration (>= 30 minutes) was associated with a reduced cortisol response compared with brief feeding (
