Feeding intolerance associates with late onset sepsis in very low birth weight infants

Abstract

Objective: To determine the association between feeding intolerance and late onset sepsis (LOS) in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study inborn infants with a gestational age less than 32 weeks or birth weight less then 1500 grams were enrolled. Demographic and neonatal characteristics of infants who had culture proven LOS were compared with the control infants, matched for birth weight and gestational age. Results: A total of 408 infants (LOS n=136, non LOS n=272) were analyzed. The mean (SD) gestational age and birth weight of the whole cohort were 27.8 weeks (±1.6) and 1016.92 grams (±200.39) Exclusively breast feeding was lower and feeding intolerance was more frequent in LOS group (p=0.028, p<0.001; respectively). Time to regain birth weight, time to reach full enteral feeding, nothing per oral day, duration of the requirement of total parenteral nutrition were longer in LOS group compared to non LOS group (p=0.048, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001; respectively). Weight gain per day, weight gain at first and fourth week of life were significantly lower in infants with LOS (p=0.000, p=0.045 and p=0.046; respectively). Logistic regression analysis revealed that respiratory distress syndrome (OR=1.76, 95% CI 1.12-2.76;P=0.013), feeding intolerance (OR=3.84 95% CI 2.36-6.24; p<0.001) or exclusively breast feeding (OR=0.60, 95% CI 0.39-0.94;p=0.025) were independently associated with the development of LOS. Conclusion: Feeding intolerance impairs the immunologic and barrier functions of the gut and facilitates the onset of sepsis.
