OBJECTIVES: To compare the duration required to regain birth weight following early fortification of human milk vs. late fortification among preterm infants.
METHODS: This randomized controlled trial included hemodynamically stable 120 preterm infants (≤32 wk of gestation). The intervention and comparator groups received standard fortification with human milk fortifier when enteral feeds reached 30 ml/kg/d (early fortification) and 80 ml/kg/d (late fortification) respectively. Neonates in both the groups received feed increments as per standard NICU protocol. Anthropometric measurements (weight, length, and head circumference) at birth and during postnatal follow-up were done following standard precautions and plotted on the sex-specific Fenton growth charts. Primary outcome was the mean duration required to regain birth weight. Secondary outcomes included weight gain velocity, linear growth, increase in head circumference and occurrence of sepsis, feed intolerance and necrotizing enterocolitis.
RESULTS: Preterm neonates who received early fortification regained birth weight earlier compared to those in the late fortification group (10.13 ± 2.90 vs. 11.26 ± 3.06, p <0.05). The weight gain velocity, linear growth and increase in head circumference were better in the early fortification group. There was no increased risk of culture proven sepsis, feed intolerance and necrotizing enterocolitis in the early fortification group compared to late fortification.
CONCLUSIONS: Standard fortification with human milk fortifier when enteral feeds reach 30 ml/kg/d helps preterm neonates regain birth weight earlier. Early fortification is well tolerated and safe for the population studied.
