Factors Associated with Time to Full Feeds in Preterm Very Low Birth Weight Infants.

Background: Feeding intolerance prolongs time to full feeds (TFFs) in preterm infants. We studied factors associated with TFF in preterm infants on standardized feeding regimen (SFR) and routine probiotic supplementation (RPS).

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of preterm infants ≤1500 g.
