Impact of early nutrition on brain development and neurocognitive outcomes in very preterm infants
Early postnatal macronutrient intake was not associated with brain volumes at term or neurocognitive outcomes at 2 years in very preterm infants All infants received nutritional intakes meeting current recommendations Adequate macronutrient intake based on a standardized protocol may eliminate the need for further minor adjustments in the pursuit of supporting brain growth and neurodevelopment in preterm infants.
