Mother's Own Milk and Its Relationship to Growth and Morbidity in a Population-based Cohort of Extremely Preterm Infants.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationships between intake of mother's own milk (MOM), compared with intake of pasteurized donor milk (DM), and postnatal growth, incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), in extremely preterm infants.

Primary outcome variables were change in z-score (Δ) from birth to 32 weeks PMA for weight, length, and head circumference (HC). Secondary outcomes were incidence of ROP and BPD. Mixed models adjusting for confounders were used to investigate the association between exposures and ou
