Biomarkers for feeding intolerance in infants with complex heart defects undergoing palliation surgery
We suggest that, when measured sequentially, plasma levels of I-FABP and claudin-3 may help to predict children with CHD at risk of feeding intolerance post cardiac surgery. If further validated in larger cohort, these biomarkers may aid in optimizing feeding protocols aimed at reducing sequelae such as NEC.
