Abstract

Background: Adequate nutrient intake is essential to prevent postnatal growth retardation in preterm infants. In January 2002 a neonatal nutrition support team (NNST) was introduced in our Neonatal Intensive Care in order to increase the awareness of the importance of optimum nutrition as part of the overall patient treatment. The NNST focused on optimization of energy and protein intake and postnatal growth. We hypothesize that the establishment of a NNST improves nutrient intake and postnatal weight gain in preterm infants.
