p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feeding intolerance day 1–14 | 141 (97.9) | 63 (100.0) | 0.248 |
| Feeding intolerance day 1 | 32 (22.2) | 13 (20.6) | 0.799 |
| Reduced enteral nutrition, number of cases | 53 (36.8) | 24 (38.1) | 0.860 |
| Paused enteral nutrition, number of cases | 5 (3.5) | 3 (4.8) | 0.658 |
| Enteral nutrition reduced, total number of events | 65 (7.5) | 37 (9.8) | 0.183 |
| Enteral nutrition paused, total number of events | 119 (13.8) | 79 (20.9) | 0.002 |
| Breast milk supply, number of cases | 71 (49.3) | 30 (47.6) | 0.823 |
| Milk fortification, number of cases | 104 (72.2) | 45 (71.4) | 0.232 |
| Duration parenteral nutrition (days) | 15 (13; 18) | 21 (15; 18) | 0.002 |
Data are presented as n (%) besides duration of parenteral nutrition [median and interquartile range (Q1; Q3)]. p < 0.05 (bold print), Mann–Whitney U or Chi-squared test. Reduction or interruption of enteral nutritional supply is considered separately for the total number of events during the first 14 days of life and the incidence in cases during the first 14 days of life.
