GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT OF 22 CALORIE FORMULA FED TO PREMATURE INFANTS

低出生体重婴儿在其生命的第一年面临许多挑战。其中一个挑战是满足婴儿的营养需求，使他们能够赶上生长。赞助商设计了一种配方奶粉，为小婴儿提供额外的重要营养素。这是一项多中心、双盲、随机平行设计的前瞻性试验，旨在比较从出院到经后57周龄的早产儿的生长发育情况，这些早产儿分别被喂食标准的20卡路里/盎司配方奶和实验的22卡路里/盎司配方奶。将比较两组儿童的成长、发展和对公式的接受程度。

Low birth weight infants face numerous challenges during their first year of life. One of these challenges is meeting the infant's nutritional needs so that they can catch up with growth. The sponsor has designed a formula to provide extra amounts of important nutrients for small infants. This is a multicenter, doubleblind, randomized parallel-designed prospective trial to compare growth and development of preterm infants fed either a standard 20 calorie/ounce formula or an experimental 22 calorie/ounce formula from hospital discharge to 57 weeks postmenstual age. Growth, development, and acceptance of the formula will be compared between the two groups.
