Impact of early protein and energy intakes on neurodevelopment at 2 years of corrected age in very low birth weight infants: A single-center observational study

摘要

IntroductionAggressive nutritional strategy, particularly enhancing early provision of energy and protein, has appeared to reduce postnatal growth failure and improve later developmental outcomes. But the amount of macronutrients required remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of protein and energy intakes during the first two weeks after birth on neurodevelopmental outcomes.
