|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare early head growth in premature infants (< 29 weeks gestation) receiving a standardised concentrated neonatal parenteral nutrition (scNPN) formulation with scNPN containing additional macronutrients: protein, fat and carbohydrate (scNPNmax).; Secondary Objective: Secondary outcomes compare scNPNmax and scNPN with respect to: 1) other growth measurements (weight gain, lower leg length) up to the age of 36 weeks gestation 2) efficiency and safety of parenteral nutrition administration 3) effects on routine monitoring of body biochemistry, nutrients in the circulation and markers of infection (sometimes referred to as NPN tolerance) 4) supplementary biochemical (electrolyte) infusion requirements 5) use of other drugs and infusions 6) use and non-infective complications of intravenous lines 7) cost 8) neurodevelopmental outcome in survivors at 18 months corrected age ;Primary end point(s): Change in head circumference over the first 28 days of life. | — |
