“Human milk for preterm infants”, a discussion of evidence gaps & priority issues in preterm enteral enteral feeding & why the term “human milk” is unfortunate. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… NNRD-UK BAPM Neonatal Nurses Association (NNA) Evidence-Based Neo

The COLLABORATE study will tackle 2 longstanding, uncertainties in preterm nutrition: should pasteurised donor milk or preterm formula be used when a supplement for own mother's milk is needed, and is routine protein-carbohydrate fortification of human milk beneficial and safe?

The NNRD is used to improve the care of newborn babies and their families in many ways. The information in the NNRD is used for research studies to find out which treatments work best, in audits that measure how well neonatal units are practising and to support legislative change

Thanks for highlighting Michael Narvey 🇨🇦; the possibility of impaired neurodevelopment is why we need the COLLABORATE Randomised Controlled Trial to determine if donor milk or preterm formula is better for top ups when there isn’t enough own mothers milk Bliss Baby Charity Adult Preemie Advocacy Network BAPM NNRD

Important understandable point Michael Narvey 🇨🇦. This is the fundamental (too often repeated) problem of focusing research on unvalidated surrogate outcomes. Just as we showed that GMCSF increases WCC in growth restricted preterms but does not result in patient benefit (Lancet 2009)
