ABSTRACT
The two most important variables and determinants of morbidity and mortality of infants are prematurity and low birth weight. The nutritional aspect is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with extremely low weight. Objective: To determine the recovery time of the birth weight in preterm infants less than 1500 g. Material and methods: We included all preterm infants under 1 500 g admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Infectious Diseases. We considered the following variables: gender, maternal pathology, prenatal care, via birth, premature rupture of membranes, birth weight, gestational age, classification, weight/gestational age, IUGR classification, fasting, protein intake, parenteral nutrition, enteral nutrition and days of weight regain. Results: In the period 128 patients were preterm, weight equal to or less than 1 500 g. Recovery of birth weight in the NICU patients was 14.46 ± 14.11 in the days after birth. In patients in the room was on the day Infectology 14.49 ± 9.74. Conclusion: It is very important to the early administration of parenteral nutrition and/or enteral to prevent catabolism and improve gain weight in preterm infants that weight equal to or less than 1 500 grams at birth.REFERENCES
