Summary

As extremely low birth weight infants are high-risk patients, the study aimed to compare neonatal care, nutritional strategy and postnatal growth of these infants in two European neonatal units. A retrospective study included extremely low birth weight infants born in Lyon, France or in Stockholm, Sweden. Data on morbidity, treatments, care practices, macro-nutrient intakes and postnatal growth were collected to determine risk factors of extra uterine growth restriction at discharge.

By comparing postnatal growth in ELBW infants hospitalized in two European neonatal intensive care units with different nutritional and extra nutritional care,our objective was to evaluate the role of nutrition in this population of preterm infants.
