Infants born after 34 weeks and before 37 weeks were enrolled from twenty-five hospitals in the Beijing area of China. Data of enteral and parenteral nutrition were collected.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 1,463 late preterm infants were enrolled in this study, 53.9% of infants were supported by parenteral nutrition. Over 60% of 34 weeks\u2019 infants were on parenteral nutrition during the 2nd to the 4th day. Logistic regression analysis showed that gestational age(GA) (OR = 0.69, 95%CI 0.58\u20130.81), birth weight (OR = 0.41, 95%CI 0.26\u20130.65), hypoglycemia (OR = 2.77, 95%CI 1.90\u20134.04), small for gestational age (SGA) (OR = 2.18, 95%CI 1.34\u20133.55), feeding intolerance (OR = 6.41, 95%CI 1.90\u201321.59), neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) (OR = 2.16, 95%CI 1.12\u20134.18), neonatal infection(OR = 1.56 95%CI 1.16\u20132.10), and slow enteral nutrition advancement rate (OR = 0.92, 95%CI 0.90\u20130.95) were factors influencing the administration of parenteral nutrition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Over half of hospitalized late preterm infants were prescribed with parenteral nutrition. Infants with lower GA, lower birth weight, diagnosed with hypoglycemia, SGA, feeding intolerance, NRDS, neonatal infection, or a slower rate of enteral nutrition advancement had a higher likelihood of receiving parenteral nutrition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2022.844460","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,8]],"date-time":"2022-03-08T07:04:52Z","timestamp":1646723092000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Status
