Effect of different feeding approaches on growth, neonatal morbidities, mortality and neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Overall, there is a lack of strong evidence to support a specific enteral feeding strategy and further high-quality research is required. Targeted HM fortification appears to improve head growth, while adjusted fortification enhances length. Given the significant inconsistency detected, which may compromise the reliability of the network estimates, these results must be interpreted carefully.
