Abstract
This retrospective study compared the rate of feed intolerance in preterm neonates delivered at £ 30 weeks gesta?on who received pasteurised donor human milk (n = 83) versus preterm formula (n = 41) to meet the deficits in available volumes of mother’s own milk in the first 2 weeks of life. Feed intolerance was not higher in neonates who received preterm formula than those who received pasteurized donor human milk (24.4% vs 20%; OR (95% CI) 0.79 (0.30, 2.19) P = 0.619]. Rates of necro?zing enterocoli?s, culture posi?ve sepsis and mortality were not significantly different in the two groups. The preterm formula group gained birth weight earlier, although the ?me needed to a?ain full feeds was similar in both groups.
