ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To examine rates and determinants of home nasogastric (NG)-tube feeding at hospital discharge in a cohort of very preterm infants within the Canadian Neonatal Network (CNN). STUDYDESIGN:
This was a population-based cohort study of infants born <33 weeks of gestation and admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) participating in the CNN between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2018. We excluded infants who had major congenital anomalies, required gastrostomy-tube, or were discharged to non-CNN facilities. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent determinants of home NG-tube feeding at hospital discharge.RESULTS:
Among the 13 232 infants born very preterm during the study period, 333 (2.5%) were discharged home to receive NG-tube feeding. Rates of home NG-tube feeding varied across Canadian NICUs, from 0% to 12%. Determinants of home NG-tube feeding were gestational age (aOR 0.94 per each gestational week increase, 95% CI 0.88-0.99); duration of mechanical ventilation (aOR 1.02 per each day increase, 95% CI 1.01-1.02); high illness severity at birth (aOR 1.32, 95% CI 1.01-1.74); small for gestational age (aOR 2.06, 95% CI 1.52-2.78); male sex (aOR 0.61, 95% CI 0.49-0.77); severe brain injury (aOR 1.60, 95% CI 1.10-2.32); and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (aOR 2.22, 95% CI 1.67-2.94).CONCLUSIONS:
Rates of home NG-tube feeding varied widely between Canadian NICUs. Higher gestational age and male sex reduced the odds of discharge home to receive NG-tube feeding; and in contrast small for gestational age, severe brain injury, prolonged duration on mechanical ventilation and bronchopulmonary dysplasia increased the odds.Palavras-chave
