Growth and Body Composition at Discharge in Full‐Term Neonates With Congenital Anomalies
Term neonates with congenital anomalies experience significant postnatal growth restriction and reduced fat mass by NICU discharge. Maternal ethnicity and time to full enteral feeds independently influence body fat percentage. These findings support the need for individualised nutrition and routine body composition monitoring to optimise outcomes in this high-risk group.
