Summary
Dr Ariel Salas discusses his multicentre trial comparing higher (180-200 mL/kg/day) versus lower (140-160 mL/kg/day) enteral feeding volumes in preterm infants, using body composition rather than weight alone as the outcome. He explains why fat-free mass gain matters for neurodevelopment and how practice variation creates equipoise for testing long-held feeding standards.
