Annales 81.1 - Advancing neonatal nutrition: Paving the path from present to future

While the survival of extremely low birthweight (ELBW) infants has increased over the years, problems of extended neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stays, neurdeveopmental delays, poor vision, chronic lung disease, intestinal maladies and propensity for metabolic disorders in later life are still challenges that persist. One of the leading environmental factors that can shape the short-term and long-term outcomes of these infants relate to the optimisation of their nutrition. This edition of Annales Nestlé gives insights on the past and present of nutrition for the ELBW infant, and foresight
