nutrient enriched Formula versus standard Term Formula for preTerm infants following hospital discharge
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016Co-Authors: Lauren Young, Nicholas D Embleton, William McguireAbstract:Background PreTerm infants are often growth-restricted at hospital discharge. Feeding infants after hospital discharge with nutrient-enriched Formula rather than standard Term Formula might facilitate "catch-up" growth and improve development. Objectives To deTermine the effect of feeding nutrient-enriched Formula compared with standard Term Formula on growth and development for preTerm infants following hospital discharge. Search strategy The standard search strategy of the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group were used. This included searches of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2007), MEDLINE (1966 - May 2007), EMBASE (1980 - May 2007), CINAHL (1982 - May 2007), conference proceedings, and previous reviews. Selection criteria Randomised or quasi-randomised controlled trials that compared the effect of feeding preTerm infants following hospital discharge with nutrient-enriched Formula compared with standard Term Formula. Data collection and analysis Data was extracted using the standard methods of the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group, with separate evaluation of trial quality and data extraction by two authors, and synthesis of data using weighted mean difference and a fixed effects model for meta-analysis. Main results Seven trials were found that were eligible for inclusion. These recruited a total of 631 infants and were generally of good methodological quality. The trials found little evidence that feeding with nutrient-enriched Formula milk affected growth and development. Because of differences in the way individual trials measured and presented outcomes, data synthesis was limited. Growth data from two trials found that, at six months post-Term, infants fed with nutrient-enriched Formula had statistically significantly lower weights [weighted mean difference: -601 (95% confidence interval -1028, -174) grams], lengths [-18.8 (-30.0, -7.6) millimetres], and head circumferences [-10.2 ( -18.0, -2.4) millimetres], than infants fed standard Term Formula. At 12 to 18 months post-Term, meta-analyses of data from three trials did not find any statistically significant differences in growth parameters. However, examination of these meta-analyses demonstrated statistical heterogeneity. Meta-analyses of data from two trials did not reveal a statistically significant difference in Bayley Mental Development or Psychomotor Development Indices. There are not yet any data on growth or development through later childhood. Authors' conclusions The available data do not provide strong evidence that feeding preTerm infants following hospital discharge with nutrient-enriched Formula compared with standard Term Formula affects growth rates or development up to 18 months post-Term.

The Cochrane Library - Calorie and protein-enriched Formula versus standard Term Formula for improving growth and development in preTerm or low birth weight infants following hospital discharge
The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2005Co-Authors: Ginny Henderson, Tom Fahey, William McguireAbstract:BACKGROUND PreTerm and low birth weight infants are often growth-restricted at hospital discharge. Feeding infants post-hospital discharge with calorie and protein-enriched Formula milk might facilitate "catch-up" growth and improve development. OBJECTIVES To review the evidence from randomised controlled trials that feeding following hospital discharge with calorie and protein-enriched Formula compared with standard Term Formula improves growth and development for preTerm or low birth weight infants. SEARCH STRATEGY We used the standard search strategy of the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group. This included searches of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, The Cochrane Library, Issue 4, 2004), MEDLINE (1966 - December 2004), EMBASE (1980 - December 2004), CINAHL (1982 - December 2004), conference proceedings, and previous reviews. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised or quasi-randomised controlled trials that compared the effect of feeding preTerm or low birth weight infants post-hospital discharge with calorie and protein-enriched Formula compared with standard Term Formula. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We extracted data using the standard methods of the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group, with separate evaluation of trial quality and data extraction by two authors, and synthesis of data using weighted mean difference and a fixed effects model for meta-analysis. MAIN RESULTS We found six trials that were eligible for inclusion. These recruited a total of 424 infants and were generally of good methodological quality. These trials found little evidence that feeding with calorie and protein-enriched Formula milk affected growth and development. Because of differences in the way individual trials measured and presented outcomes, data synthesis was limited. Meta-analysis of data from two trials found a statistically significant effect on crown-heel length at 18 months post-Term (weighted mean difference 9.7 millimetres (95% confidence interval 3.2 to 16.2)), but not on weight or head circumference. Meta-analysis of data from the two trials that assessed neurodevelopment at 18 months post-Term did not reveal a statistically significant difference in either Bayley Mental Development Index (weighted mean difference 0.23 (95% confidence interval -2.99 to 3.45)) or Psychomotor Development Index (weighted mean difference 0.56 (95% confidence interval -1.95 to 3.07)). There are not yet any data on growth or development through later childhood. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The limited available data do not provide strong evidence that feeding preTerm or low birth weight infants following hospital discharge with calorie and protein-enriched Formula compared with standard Term Formula affects growth rates or development up to 18 months post-Term.

Growth of preTerm infants fed nutrient-enriched or Term Formula after hospital discharge.
Pediatrics, 2001Co-Authors: Jane D. Carver, Robert T. Hall, Ekhard E. Ziegler, Roberto Sosa, Joan R. Jacobs, Geraldine Baggs, Nancy Auestad, Beate LloydAbstract:Objective. At hospital discharge, preTerm infants may have low body stores of nutrients, deficient bone mineralization, and an accumulated energy deficit. This double-blind, randomized study evaluated the growth of premature infants with birth weights Methods. Infants were randomized to PDF or TF a few days before hospital discharge with stratification by gender and birth weight ( Results. One hundred twenty-five infants were randomized; 74 completed to 6 months9 CA and 53 to 12 months9 CA. PDF-fed infants weighed more than TF-fed infants at 1 and 2 months9 CA, gained more weight from study day 1 to 1 and 2 months9 CA, and were longer at 3 months9 CA. There were significant interactions between feeding and birth weight group—among infants with birth weights Conclusions. Growth was improved in preTerm infants fed a nutrient-enriched postdischarge Formula after hospital discharge to 12 months9 CA. Beneficial effects were most evident among infants with birth weights
