Drew 1979.

Methods	Quasi‐randomised controlled trial
Participants	66 appropriate for gestational age infants of birth weight < 1500 g Infants who were receiving assisted ventilation were not included
Interventions	Nasojejunal (N = 32) versus nasogastric feeding (N = 34) until achieving an enteral intake of 200 ml/kg/day
Outcomes	Gain in weight, length, and head circumference prior to hospital discharge, calorie intake, and adverse events (including death, necrotising enterocolitis, intestinal perforation, and aspiration pneumonia)
Notes	Setting: University of Melbourne, Australia, 1974‐1977
Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	High risk	Alternate allocation
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	High risk	Alternate allocation
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes	High risk	Unblinded
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes	High risk	Nasojejunal group: 11 infants withdrawn after allocation; 1 required assisted ventilation, 10 because of failure to pass the feeding tube Nasogastric group: 11 infants withdrawn after allocation; 5 required assisted ventilation, 4 died within 24 hours, 2 had "insufficient data to compute"
