Feeding index and its influencing factors of preterm and low birth weight infants
Objective To explore the feeding index and influencing factors in preterm low birth weight infants,in order to provide reference for improving their feeding and nutritional status.Methods A total of 100 preterm low birth weight infants at the corrected age of 6 to 24 months,who underwent health check-ups at the PKUFH-Ningxia Women and Children's Hospital between June 2023 and March 2024,were selected as the case group.Meanwhile,108 healthy infants and toddlers undergoing routine check-ups during the same period were selected as the control group.The feeding indices were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results The overall feeding index score for preterm low birth weight infants was 10.56±4.77.Scores for the 6-8 month age group,the 9-11 month age group,and the overall score in the preterm low birth weight infants were lower than those in the control group,but only the difference in the 6-8 month age group was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Unconditional Logistic regression analysis showed that the main facilitators of the feeding index were breastfeeding(OR=2.864,95％CI:1.023-8.015,P=0.045),formula feeding duration(OR=2.185,95％CI:1.138-4.195,P=0.019),and age in months(OR=2.426,95％CI:1.276-4.612,P=0.007).Conclusion The feeding index in preterm low birth weight infants is relatively low,indicating the need for relevant intervention measures.
