Inclusion criteria included survival until day 28 and weight information for days 7 and 28. GV, expressed as grams per kilogram per day, was calculated for the interval between days 7 and 28. Nutritional practices during the first week and on days 14, 21, and 28 were compared with current nutritional guidelines in the literature. Multivariable logistic regression models estimated the contribution of limited nutrition to limited GV.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>RESULTS: Protein and fat delivery approximated current nutritional recommendations, whereas carbohydrate and total energy intake delivery did not. Despite this, GV of our study infants exceeded the current guideline of 15 g\/kg per day. Nevertheless, we found extrauterine growth restriction (ie, weight for gestational age below the 10th centile) in 75% of the infants at 28 days, compared with only 18% at birth. A GV of 20 to 30 g\/kg per day was associated with infants' maintaining or exceeding their birth weight z score, with rates in the upper range for the gestationally youngest infants. Early (day 7) nutritional practices were positively associated with GV measured between days 7 and 28.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>CONCLUSION: The early provision of nutrients is an important determinant of postnatal growth. Extrauterine growth restriction remains high in extremely premature infants even when they achieve a GV rate within current guidelines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2008-3258","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,27]],"date-time":"2009-07-27T07:32:55Z","timestamp":1248679975000},"page":"649-657","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":202,"title":["Nutritional Practices and Growth Velocity in the First Month of Life in Extremely Premature Infants"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"124","author":[{"given":"Camilia R.","family":"Martin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts"},{"name":"Division of Newborn Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yolanda F.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Newborn Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard A.","family":"Ehrenkranz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.
