Comparative growth and biochemical response of very low birthweight infants fed own mother's milk, a premature infant formula, or one of two standard formulas.

摘要: Abstract Very low birthweight (VLBW) infants weighing less than 1,600 g at birth were fed their own mother's milk (OMM) or randomly assigned to receive one of three formulas: a "humanized" formula (SF), partially modified casein-predominant cow's (CF), premature (PF). All 120 kcal/kg/day where possible. PF had significantly greater weight increments (28.0 g/day) those on OMM (19.4 g/day), SF (18.9 and CF (18.2 g/day). Those also length, head circumference, skin-fold thickness the other two formulas length OMM. Dynamic skinfold measurements suggested that no accumulated excessive amounts interstitial fluid. Infants standard base deficits, whereas higher urea values. lower phosphate alkaline phosphatase values groups. Thus VLBW better growth fewer biochemical problems formulas, supplementation may be necessary ensure optimal bone mineralization.
