Customized Human Milk Fortification Based on Measured Human Milk Composition to Improve the Quality of Growth in Very Preterm Infants: A Mixed-Cohort Study Protocol
Funding Entity Portuguese Society of Neonatology
Financed Amount 5.000,00€
Start date 2019-01-01
Final date 2023-12-31
Objective
This study aims to determine whether, in the feeding of premature newborns, the method of fortification of human milk based on the measurement of its macronutrient concentration is associated with better growth quality compared to the method based only on the estimation of its macronutrient concentration.
