چکیده

The optimal composition of standardized parenteral nutrition (SPN) is not yet known, contributing to nutrient deficit accrual and growth failure, with the period of parenteral nutrition weaning, i.e., transition (TN) phase, being identified as particularly vulnerable. We created a comprehensive nutrition database, representative of the nutritional course of a diverse range of preterm infants (n = 59, birth weight ≤ 1500 g, gestation < 34 weeks) by collecting hourly macronutrient intake data as part of a prospective, observational study over 19 months. Using a nutrient modeling technique for the TN phase, various amino acid (AA) concentrations of SPN were tested within the database, whilst acknowledging the nutritional contribution from enteral feeds until target AA intakes were consistently achieved. From the modeling, the AA composition of SPN was determined at 3.5 g/100 mL, which was the maximum to avoid exceeding target intakes at any point in the TN phase. However, in order to consistently achieve target AA intakes, additional nutritional strategies were required, which included increasing the exclusion of enteral feeds in fluid and nutrient calculations from <20 mL/kg/day to <40 mL/kg/day, and earlier fortification of breastmilk at 80 mL/kg/day. This data-driven nutrient modeling process supported the development of an improved SPN regimen for our preterm population in the TN phase.

The Journal of Nutrition Supplement: Achieving Optimal Growth in Preterm Infants and Children Intrauterine-Like Growth Rates Can BeAchieved with Premixed Parenteral Nutrition Solution in Preterm Infants

Growth failure in neonatal intensive care units is a major challenge for pediatricians and neonatologists. The use of early ‘‘aggressive’’ parenteral nutrition (PN), with >2.5 g/(kg d) of amino acids and at least 40 kcal/(kg d) of energy from the first day of life, has been shown to provide nutritional intakes in the range recommended by international guidelines, reducing nutritional deficit an...

The Effect of Individualized Versus Standardized Parenteral Nutrition on Body Weight in Very Preterm Infants

BACKGROUND This study was designed to evaluate whether standardizing total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is at least non-inferior to TPN with individualized composition in premature infants with a gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, all preterm born in or transferred to Maxima Medical Center (MMC) within 24 hours after birth with a GA < 32 weeks were incl...

Postnatal head growth in preterm infants: a randomized controlled parenteral nutrition study.

BACKGROUND Early postnatal head growth failure is well recognized in very preterm infants (VPIs). This coincides with the characteristic nutritional deficits that occur in these parenteral nutrition (PN) dependent infants in the first month of life. Head circumference (HC) is correlated with brain volume and later neurodevelopmental outcome. We hypothesized that a Standardized, Concentrated Wit...

Regulation of proteolysis and optimal protein accretion in extremely premature newborns.

Growth outcomes for extremely premature infants remain poor, and improving growth in this population will require a better understanding of how to limit proteolysis and promote protein accretion. Extremely premature infants exhibit high rates of proteolysis that are unrestrained by physiologic increases in insulin, intravenous amino acids, and full parenteral nutrition. Imbalances in current am...
