A single-center analysis shows that multimodal training improves feeding outcomes in preterm infants, suggesting new interventions could help.
Addition of multimodal oral-sucking-oromotor training to routine care was independently associated with a lower incidence of FI and with improvements in short-term nutritional and growth outcomes in preterm infants; benefits were observed in both AGA and SGA subgroups. SGA status, delayed initiation of first feeding (>72 h), requirement for respiratory support/mechanical ventilation and EOS were independent risk factors for FI.
