Vitamins play key roles as cofactors and gene regulators for metabolic and immune functions and are common added components of preterm infant nutrition. However, information on how vitamins impact in-hospital and neurodevelopmental outcomes is sparse. We aimed to determine the effect of fat- and water-soluble vitamin supplementation on clinical outcomes during neonatal care and later neurodevelopment of very preterm (\u226432 weeks\u2019 gestation) and very low birth weight (\u22641500\u2009g) infants.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec034\">\n<jats:title>Methods and findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>4 databases and 3 clinical trial registries were systematically searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed quality using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Meta-analyses were conducted using a random-effect model for each vitamin subgroup. Data are presented as risk ratios [95% confidence intervals]. Of 4074 references identified, 43 studies were included in the review. Only 2 reported neurodevelopment at 2 years, and only 4 were studies of water-soluble vitamins (vitamin C, 3 studies; B<jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub> and folate, 1 study). Survival free from neurodisability was not affected by supplementation of vitamin A (0.89 [0.74\u20131.08], n\u2009=\u2009538, very low certainty of evidence) or vitamin D (0.76 [0.46\u20131.27], n\u2009=\u200978, very low certainty of evidence). The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia was decreased by vitamins D (0.58 [0.41\u20130.83]) and C (0.59 [0.37\u20130.93]), very low certainty of evidence), retinopathy of prematurity was decreased by vitamins A (0.77 [0.61\u20130.98]) and E (0.10 [0.01\u20130.80]), very low to low certainty of evidence) and intraventricular haemorrhage was decreased by vitamin E (0.70 [0.52\u20130.92], moderate certainty of evidence). Culture-proven sepsis was decreased by vitamin A (0.88 [0.77\u20130.99], moderate certainty of evidence).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec035\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>There are few and inconclusive data on the effect of vitamin supplementation in preterm infants on later neurodevelopment. Evidence for shorter-term outcomes is mostly of low certainty. Together with substantial heterogeneity in trial design, it therefore is difficult to recommend a specific supplementation regimen.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Registry and Registry
