Oropharyngeal application of colostrum is a novel way of harnessing the immunological benefits of colostrum. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the efficacy of this approach have shown variable results.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize available data on the effect of oropharyngeal application of colostrum or mother's own milk (CMOM) in preterm infants.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Data Sources<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Six electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) were searched until January 13, 2022.

Random-effects meta-analysis was undertaken using RevMan 5.4 software. From 2787 records identified, 17 RCTs enrolling 4106 preterm infants were included. There was no significant difference between groups in incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) stage 2 or higher (RR\u2005=\u20050.65; 95%CI, 0.36\u20131.20; 1089 participants in 12 trials). Application of CMOM significantly reduced the incidence of sepsis (RR\u2005=\u20050.72; 95%CI, 0.56\u20130.92; 1511 participants in 15 studies) and any stage of NEC (RR\u2005=\u20050.58; 95%CI, 0.37\u20130.92; 1616 participants in 16 trials). The CMOM group achieved full enteral feeds 1.75\u2009days sooner (95%CI, 0.3\u20133.2\u2009days; 1580 participants in 14 studies) and had higher weight at discharge (MD\u2005=\u200543.9 g; 95%CI, 3\u201385 g; 569 participants in 3 studies). There were no statistically significant differences in other outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Evidence with low to very low certainty suggests CMOM has a beneficial effect on NEC (any stage), sepsis, and time to full enteral feeds.
