ABSTRACT
This study aims at evaluating the effect of high glucose intake as a component of total parenteral nutrition on birth weight (BW) regain in very low birth weight neonates. Ninety newborns with BW <1500 g were randomized to control or experimental groups. Both groups received the same total parenteral nutrition regimens except glucose intake provided by dextrose water (DW) serum 7 to 15 g/kg/d (10% DW) in the former versus 8.75 to 18.75 g/kg/d (12.5% DW) in the latter. Body weight as the primary outcome was monitored until the BW was regained. Results revealed that neonates who received 12.5% DW regained BW significantly faster (10.98 ± 2.46 vs 13.24 ± 4.03 days, P = .024) and needed lesser duration of respiratory support (5.34 ± 2.11 vs 7.17 ± 3.19 days, P = .003). As the proposed intervention can reduce neonatal intensive care unit admission duration, it mitigates risks of health care-associated infections, while favorably affecting the health economy.
