Résumé
Nutrition is a cornerstone of postnatal care to prevent compromised growth and support short- and long-term health outcomes in preterm infants. We aimed to evaluate nutritional intakes and growth among infants <29 weeks gestation after implementation of a standardized feeding protocol. This is an observational cohort secondary analysis of data from the ImNuT study (Immature, Nutrition Therapy, NCT03555019). To reduce variations in nutritional practice and ensure accommodation to current guidelines, we developed a standardized feeding protocol. Detailed information on actual nutritional intakes, growth and biochemistry was prospectively collected and assessed from birth to 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA). Median (range) gestational age and birth weight were 26 In infants <29 weeks gestation, the standardized feeding protocol was well tolerated. Nutrient intakes and growth were close to recommendations.

BACKGROUND & AIMS
Nutrition is a cornerstone of postnatal care to prevent compromised growth and support short- and long-term health outcomes in preterm infants. We aimed to evaluate nutritional intakes and growth among infants <29 weeks gestation after implementation of a standardized feeding protocol.
METHODS
This is an observational cohort secondary analysis of data from the ImNuT study (Immature, Nutrition Therapy, NCT03555019). To reduce variations in nutritional practice and ensure accommodation to current guidelines, we developed a standardized feeding protocol. Detailed information on actual nutritional intakes, growth and biochemistry was prospectively collected and assessed from birth to 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA).
RESULTS
Median (range) gestational age and birth weight were 26
CONCLUSIONS
In infants <29 weeks gestation, the standardized feeding protocol was well tolerated. Nutrient intakes and growth were close to recommendations.
