abstract = {Background: A rational energy and nutrient intake is important for the physical development of preterm infants to prevent extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR).
Methods: Data of feeding strategies were recorded from 141 preterm infants while they were hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and during follow-up until 3 months after discharge. Weight gain velocity, the period of returning to the birth weight, and achieving the reference dietary intakes (RDIs) were analyzed. The incidence of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and EUGR were compared and the possible underlying reasons were explored.
Results: The mean period of returning to birth weight was 13.2 days. The average weight gain after achieving birth weight was 16.7g/(kg·d). The mean period of reaching RDIs was 10.6 days. The incidence of EUGR at discharge (46.6%) was higher than that of IUGR at birth (17.7%) (P},
