Should length become the primary outcome of neonatal nutrition trials? The effects of nutritional interventions on length appear more long-lasting than those on weight and lean mass @camimartin.bsky.social @nicupodcast.bsky.social @neonatalresearch.bsky.social
A single-site trial assesses the impact of early (days 4–7) vs. delayed (days 10–14) bovine-derived human milk fortification in preterm infants. buff.ly/9G6Mw0x

In this RCT, Alshaikh et al. compare outcomes between preterm neonates born between 30 0/7 and 33 6/7 weeks who received early exclusive enteral feeding versus those who received conventional feeding.
