Discussion

Retrospective analysis shows improved growth metrics and reduced sepsis rates in preterm infants, highlighting the importance of enteral feeds.

Achievement of target enteral feeds within the first week is linked to improved weight and length z-scores.
In a cohort of 297 preterm infants, early fortification was associated with significant growth improvements.
While early enteral feeds reduced rates of sepsis, Mother's Own Milk did not correlate with better outcomes.
Statistical analysis included chi-square tests and adjusted models for birth weight and gestational age.

Gomez‐Pomar et al. (2025) studied this question.
