GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT OF 22 CALORIE FORMULA FED TO PREMATURE INFANTS

低出生体重儿在他们生命的第一年面临着许多挑战。这些挑战之一是满足婴儿的营养需求，以便他们能够赶上生长。赞助商设计了一种配方，为小婴儿提供额外数量的重要营养素。这是一项多中心、双盲、随机、平行设计的前瞻性试验，旨在比较从出院到绝经后57周期间喂食标准20卡路里/盎司配方或试验性22卡路里/盎司配方的早产儿的生长和发育。将比较两组人的成长、发育和对配方奶粉的接受程度。

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.
