Accuracy and reliability of bioelectrical impedance analysis for determining body composition among preterm infants
BIA is a feasible tool for measuring body composition among preterm infants. Existing published equations demonstrate reasonable agreement with ADP but require a correction factor to adjust for bias. A novel prediction equation specific to preterm infants might offer improved agreement and reduced bias.
