Filter by:Objective: To investigate the effect of FCR as part of the FICare principles during hospital stay, on parental stress at discharge in parents of preterm or ill infants admitted to the neonatal ward for >7 days as compared to standard medical rounds (SMR) without parents as part of standard neonatal care (SNC).
The purpose of this project is to increase the serum immunological defenses of premature infants less then 32 weeks of gestation by administrating colostrum in the oropharyngeal mucosa versus placebo
To compare and analyze the effects on the electromyographic activity of preterm newborns placed in the hammock position with the activity of newborns not placed in this position.
In preterm infants fed human milk, milk needs to be fortified to meet nutrient recommendations. Fortification can be 1) standard, 2) individualized (adjusted based on daily human milk nutrient analysis and milk volume), or 3) optimized (adjusted based on growth rate and serum analyses). The first specific aim will determine whether individualized and optimized nutrition during hospitalization results in improved growth in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in extremely low gestational age (GA) neonates (ELGANs, <29 weeks) and in small for GA (SGA, birth weight <10th percentile for GA) preterm infants compared with optimized nutrition. The second specific aim will determine whether individualized and optimized nutrition in the NICU improves neurodevelopmental outcomes (acquisition of development milestones) and reduces the risk of disproportionate growth (i.e., excess fat) in the NICU and findings suggestive of metabolic syndrome in the first 3 years of life.
The main goal of this study is to determine the association between: - the quantity of mother's milk and duration of breastfeeding - the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids and iron during hospitalization and the development of preterm infants born with a GA < 32 weeks.
