Can extra protein in the hospital boost a Preemie's future?
NCT ID NCT04190875
Summary
This study is checking on children who were very premature babies to see if the amount of protein they received in their hospital milk diet affects their growth, body composition, and brain development by age 2. It follows up on 120 infants who were part of an earlier hospital study where some got a standard protein diet and others got a higher protein diet. The researchers are measuring the children's height, body fat and muscle, and developmental skills to learn about the diet's long-term effects.
