ConclusionEstimated GA among infants delivered before 27 gestational weeks varied significantly depending on the dating formula used to calculate the estimated date of delivery; this might influence the clinical management of extremely preterm fetuses and infants.M....
The values were used to calculate the mean difference which showed that the sum of the studied pathogens was significantly lower in the prebiotic group (n=12) compared to the control group (n=13). (MD −0.43, 95% CI: -0.79 to −0.07) [36]. Kapiki 2007 reported this outcome (...
The consumption of both breast milk and formula will depend on the infant and their age. Although the breast milk intake is difficult to calculate, the infant formula usually comes with guidelines according to the manufacturer. In this sense, the intake of milk/formula is usually around 1 L,...
The effects of probiotics on the intestinal microbiota of premature infants have been varied due to differences on gestational age and products administered. Effects of probiotics on weight gain have also been varied. Administration ofBifidobacteria breveled to improved weight gain whileSaccharomyces bourla...
This consecutive estimates of the energy equivalent match to four was brought to our attention towards the latter part of the study. decimal places. When this condition is fulfilled, the energy We were therefore obliged to derive a respiratory quotient from equivalent is used to calculate energy ...
There was a tendency for k~ ( p < 0.13) and ko ( p < 0.09) to be higher among the formula-fed compared with breast-fed infants. The kH/ko ratio differed only by age ( p <0.00 1). TDEE (kcal/d) was different between feeding groups ( p < 0.02), ages ( p < 0.001), and ...
(32%) when GA was calculated according to the Hadlock formula.ConclusionEstimated GA among infants delivered before 27 gestational weeks varied significantly depending on the dating formula used to calculate the estimated date of delivery; this might influence the clinical management of extremely preterm...
Infant weights, measured at well-child visits by trained clinic staff, were retrieved from clinic records to control for baseline weight and calculate weight gain over time. For this study, rapid weight gain was defined as a change of >0.67 standard deviations in the weight-for-age z-score ...
Using the Fenton chart to calculate z-scores, no growth risks were identified in our study sample. Discharge weights among LBW infants were closer to the median of the reference population; i.e., growth was significantly better when fed breast milk during hospitalization compared with feeding pret...
(≤4 months old), predominantly formula-fed, were randomly assigned to either the whole milk-based GMF (n= 33) or whey-based CMF (n= 31) arm. Parents completed the Baby Eating Behavior Questionnaire (BEBQ) and the modified QUALIN questionnaire to evaluate infant feeding behavior and ...
