I developed www.nicunutritionplus.com The platform tracks new RCTs on neonatal nutrition. This is not a replacement for peer-reviewed research. It is a complementary resource. My hope is simple: better access to better evidence, sooner.

Should length become the primary outcome of neonatal nutrition trials? The effects of nutritional interventions on length appear more long-lasting than those on weight and lean mass @camimartin.bsky.social @nicupodcast.bsky.social @neonatalresearch.bsky.social
Evidence-based Neonatology@ebneo.bsky.social · 2y agoA single-site trial assesses the impact of early (days 4–7) vs. delayed (days 10–14) bovine-derived human milk fortification in preterm infants. buff.ly/9G6Mw0x #ebneoalerts #neobluesky #neoEBM
Grateful for the opportunity to be part of the SSPR council and continue supporting research initiatives within our region! #NeoBlueSky
Our RCT combining early full enteral nutrition with early human milk fortification is now available online! The sustained effect on length suggests that this feeding practice is beneficial for very preterm infants #neonatalsky #neosky #neotwitter #neoebm authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
Evidence-based Neonatology@ebneo.bsky.social · 2y agoSecondary analysis of PENUT trial led by Katie Strobel examines the association between maternal and post-natal antibiotic exposure in the first week of life with NEC and growth failure among extremely preterm infants. #neosky #EBNEOalerts #neoEBM
In this RCT, Alshaikh et al. compare outcomes between preterm neonates born between 30 0/7 and 33 6/7 weeks who received early exclusive enteral feeding versus those who received conventional feeding. buff.ly/4hs67Ja #neosky #neoEBM #EBNEOalerts

The 7th #WCPGHAN 2024 brought together neonatologists, nutritionists, pediatric gastroenterologists, and general pediatricians to discuss post-discharge nutrition for PT infants—a shared responsibility. Buenos Aires offers unforgettable tourist experiences! You should add it to your bucket list.
Let’s just say that linking an intermittent exposure like transfusions with the risk of a disease that decreases with advanced postnatal age is complicated. Additional comment posted today: #NeoSky jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
