Overview

Case-control study examines growth and outcomes of feeding methods in preterm infants, indicating differences in hospital stay and complications.

Key Points

  • Breast feeding and formula milk feeding did not significantly affect preterm infants' inflammation risk.
  • Weight gain and length of hospital stay varied significantly across the three feeding patterns evaluated.
  • The cohort comprised 52 preterm infants, with 92% being discharged successfully from the neonatal unit.
  • Most maternal complications were urinary tract infections, with varying rates of preterm complications reported.
