Summary

This trial will compare two different diets for extremely premature infants to see which leads to better neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for extremely preterm infants without major birth defects or infections, whose mothers consented to the Neonatal Research Network Cycled Phototherapy Trial. Infants who have already received intralipid treatments are not eligible.
What is being tested?
The study compares two lipid intake regimens in premature babies: a restricted and a usual prescribed intralipid regimen. It aims to see how these affect bilirubin levels, auditory brain responses, and neurodevelopment by age 2.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, changes in lipid administration could potentially impact growth, nutrition balance, and liver function. Close monitoring will likely assess any adverse effects on infant development.
