Higher fluid and lower caloric intakes: associated risk of severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia in ELBW infants.

Objective: To examine nutritional intake profiles and growth trajectories of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants who develop severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

Study Design: Case-control study using multiple logistic regression analysis with generalized estimating equations (GEE) to adjust for matching.

Results: Cumulative and mean fluid intakes were higher (p = 0.
