Short\u2010term outcomes between the 2 groups were compared by propensity score (PS) analysis. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: One hundred twenty\u2010five infants in the SSEF group were compared with 294 historical controls. Compared with the controls, feeding initiation day, full enteral feeding day, parenteral nutrition (PN) days, and total central line days were longer in the SSEF group. There was no significant difference in overall NEC (5.6% vs 11.2%, respectively; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .10) or surgical NEC (1.6% vs 4.8%, respectively; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .17) between the SSEF group and controls. However, in infants with birth weight &lt;750 g, NEC (2.1% vs 16.2%, respectively; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .01) or combined NEC\/death (12.8% vs 29.5%, respectively; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .03) was significantly less in the SSEF group compared with controls. In infants who survived to discharge, there was no significant difference in the discharge weight or length of stay in PS\u2010adjusted analysis. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: An SSEF protocol significantly reduces the incidence of NEC and combined NEC\/death in infants with birth weight &lt;750 g. Despite taking longer to achieve full enteral feeding on this protocol, surviving ELBW infants demonstrated comparable weight gain at discharge without prolonging their hospital stay.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0148607114552848","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,14]],"date-time":"2014-10-14T22:00:52Z","timestamp":1413324052000},"page":"644-654","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Standardized
