Assessing the impact of different donor milk treatments on infant health and growth: a systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Donor human milk (DHM) is the first alternative if mother's own milk is unavailable or contraindicated. Much DHM research has focused on its nutritional, immunological and biochemical composition in response to various maternal variables, standard human milk banking procedures and storage protocols. The current systematic review protocol, however, aims to systematically gather and analyse existing data pertaining to the impact of these aforementioned factors on the clinical, health-related and developmental outcomes observed in infants fed with DHM.

Methods and analysis

We will apply a predefined search strategy including Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Global Index Medicus, CINAHL on Ebscohost, Medline, Embase, Emcare, Pubmed, Global Health on O
