Cardiac Abnormalities, Nutrient Intake
Early Nutrition and Heart Structure and Function in Preterm Infants During the First Year of Life
Preterm infants are babies born before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. Early nutrition is important for their growth and development, and it may also be associated with how their heart develops and functions during infancy.

Very Low Birth Weight Baby, Early Nutrition and the Preterm Infant
Optimizing Nutrition and Milk (Opti-NuM) Project
Early nutrition critically influences growth, neurodevelopment and morbidity among infants born of very low birth weight (VLBW), but current one-size-fits-all feeding regimes do not optimally support these vulnerable infants.

- Trial name
- Opti-NuM (NCT06870981)
- Testing
- Opti-NuM is an observational secondary use of data/samples study, the investigators will analyze information and specimens from the MaxiMoM platform RCTs. No interventions form part of this study.
