Comparison of the short-term neonatal outcomes of preterm neonates before and after the launch of human milk bank in Iran: a retrospective descriptive study
Comparing neonatal outcomes showed that sepsis, feeding intolerance, mortality, and the neonates achieving supplementary nutrition earlier than 30 days and being discharged were reduced in post-launch period. Considering the significant outcomes of launching a human milk bank, it is recommended to have milk banks in hospitals with neonatal intensive care units (NICU).
