Length of Nutritional Transition Associates Negatively with Postnatal Growth in Very Low Birthweight Infants
Very low birthweight (VLBW, <1500 g) infants may be predisposed to undernutrition during the nutritional transition phase from parenteral to enteral nutrition. We studied the associations among the length of the transition phase, postnatal macronutrient intake, and growth from birth to term equiv...

Very low birthweight (VLBW, <1500 g) infants may be predisposed to undernutrition during the nutritional transition phase from parenteral to enteral nutrition.

This retrospective cohort study included 248 VLBW infants born before 32 weeks of gestation and admitted to the Children’s Hospital, Helsinki, Finland during 2005–2013.
