Summary

This randomized controlled trial included 100 preterm and small for gestational age neonates. The study aimed to determine the optimal approach for estimating nutritional needs in parenteral nutrition (PN) with the assistance of a specialized clinical decision support system (CDSS). More specifically, nutrient estimations based on the neonates' actual birth weight were compared to those calculated using the weight corresponding to the 10th percentile of the growth curve. The effect on growth outcomes over the PN course was investigated.

Conditions

  • Preterm Infant Development
  • Preterm Infant Feeding Outcomes

Interventions

Intervention Group

In the Intervention group, the macronutrient composition in the parenteral nutrition solutions was calculated based on the corrected weight corresponding to the 10th percentile of the growth curve.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Control group

In the Control group, the parenteral nutrition regimen was estimiated based on the actual birth weight.
