Impact of Refeeding Syndrome on the Short-Term Clinical Outcomes of Very-Premature Infants
Preterm infants born at ≤32 weeks of gestation who develop RFS within the first week of life are at increased risk for both intraventricular hemorrhage and mortality. This study underscores the need for standardized clinical approaches for managing RFS in the neonatal intensive care unit to improve outcomes. Future research should establish a unified RFS definition and conduct clinical trials to optimize parenteral nutrition strategies for this vulnerable population.
