The influence of early nutrition intake and clinical factors on the brain development of preterm infants with intrauterine growth restriction

IUGR Infants are more likely to experience delayed brain development at TEA. Biological indicators including early growth (length at discharge & its z-score, head circumference at discharge z-score), birth variables (gestational age, birth weight), duration of breastfeeding, GDM, RDS, and IVH are associated with the development of different brain regions at TEA.
