Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameter/endpoint: To prospectively obtain the (parenteral/enteral) intake of protein, fat, carbohydrates and calories in 200 moderately preterm infants (32-36 weeks) and obtain prospectively growth data in the first 2 years of life. The main study parameter is to correlate the intake data with the postnatal growth data at the age of 2 years. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters/endpoints: The intake and growth data will be compared with a Bayley Scales of Infant development (BSID-III) test at the age of 24 months to determine whether intake or growth in the first 2 years of life is a risk factor for an impaired motor or mental development. Thirdly, a body composition measurement at the age of 2 years will be performed to determine whether intake and growth in the first 2 years of life have an effect on body composition in moderately preterm infants. This could indicate whether these infants will be at risk for long term morbidities like the metabolic syndrome as described in extremely preterm infants. The goal is to obtain the Bayley scores of mental and motor development and the body composition of 100 moderately preterm infants. | — |
