Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of different feeding patterns on weight gain and feeding intolerance in hospitalized premature infants.Methods:The retrospective cohort study design was adopted. From April 2019 to October 2020, 155 premature infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of China-Japan Friendship Hospital were selected as the study subject by convenience sampling. Premature infants were divided into a mixed feeding group ( n=47) and a formula milk feeding group ( n=108) based on their feeding patterns. The observation indicators included weight gain, feeding intolerance, infectious diseases, nutrition and other related indicators. Results:The weight change value and the weight change rate during hospitalization in the mixed feeding group were higher than those in the formula milk feeding group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . In terms of the total milk volume on the day of discharge, the mixed feeding group were higher than the formula milk feeding group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . During hospitalization, the number of new infectious diseases in the mixed feeding group was less than that in the formula milk feeding group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of feeding intolerance between the two groups of premature infants ( P>0.05) , The incidence of vomiting in the formula milk feeding group was lower than that in the mixed feeding group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Mixed feeding is more conducive to promoting the weight gain of premature infants during hospitalization and reducing the occurrence of infectious diseases than formula milk feeding. The impact of two feeding patterns on feeding intolerance in hospitalized premature infants needs further comparative analysis.
