Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Our main study parameters are based on the following questions: - Intestinal oxygen saturation (and extraction) measured with NIRS and the time it takes to reach full enteral feeding after developing NEC - The measurement of urinary I-FABPs and the time it takes to reach full enteral feeding after developing NEC - The measurement of plasma citrulline and the time it takes to reach full enteral feeding after developing NEC Our main study parameters consist of: -Intestinal oxygen saturation (rintSO2) -Intestinal FTOE -Concentration of urinary I-FABP -Plasma Citrulline levels

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Our second objective is to assess the relation between the time it takes to reach full enteral feeding (more or less than 10 days) after developing NEC and neurodevelopmental outcome measured with the assessment of the quality of GMs (and the calculation of the motor-optimality score) at the term and three months post term age. The study parameter to answer our second objective is: - Quality of general movements (motor-optimality score)
