Overview

The project is a national, prospective, multicenter, interventional pilot project focused on protocol-driven nutrition in preterm infants in the Czech republic.

The primary aim of the project is to prepare, test, and develop a proposal for a national methodology for the care of preterm newborns in the field of nutrition. This will reduce health risks in premature infants and minimize the negative impacts on the overall development of the child and the family of the premature infant.

Description

The project is a national, prospective, multicenter, interventional pilot project focused on protocol-driven nutrition in preterm infants in the Czech republic.

The main goal of the project is standardization of nutrition of premature newborns across healthcare facilities with the aim to optimize postnatal growth and reduce complications associated with prematurity through individualized and closely monitored nutritional plans.

The project will be running in 5 perinatology centers in the Czech Republic. It is expected that 400 premature infants will participate. The project is supported by the European Social Fund (Operational Program Employment Plus) and the state budget of the Czech Republic and is registered by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Czech Republic under ID: CZ.03.02.02/00/22\_005/0002020. The study has been reviewed and approved by multiple local ethical committees. The listed IRB represents the lead national ethical committee overseeing the trial.
