birth weight (LBW) premature infants receiving breast milk or breast milk with human milk fortifier in the Nelson Mandela Bay Health District https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30529 36years old. Out of the total infant sample (n=91), 65% (n=59) was classified as VLBW, 22% was LBW and 22% (n=20) was ELBW. No statistically significant association was found between infant growth velocity and maternal risk factors. The group receiving BM with HMF had a mean growth velocity of 19.75 g/kg/day (SD=6.45) that was statistically significantly (p<0.05) more than the other groups. The maternal supplementation only group and the maternal supplementation and BM fortification group showed mean growth velocities of 12.26 g/kg/day (SD=5.41) and 12.29 g/kg/day (SD=6.97) respectively. A post hoc test was done between growth velocity in the supplementated groups and the length of hospital stay. These results reveal that the group receiving BM with HMF had a significantly (p<0.05) shorter mean length of hospital stay of 11.29 days (SD=7.02), compared with the group on the combination of maternal supplementation and BM with HMF. In this study, infants receiving HMF with BM showed the highest growth velocity with the shortest hospital stay before discharge. In this group, infants were already receiving an adequate BM intake of 150-180 ml/kg/day prior to participation in the study. This meant that the HMF group consisted of more stable preterm infants compared to the rest of the supplementated groups. However, a large proportion of participants in the maternal supplementation group also showed adequate to good growth velocity. The researcher recommends the implementation of maternal supplementation only, as standard of care for all hospitalised lactating women. Furthermore, timeous addition of HMF to expressed BM is necessary for infants with growth velocities <15 g/kg/day. This may save costs to the hospital as the use of HMF allowed for better weight gain and earlier discharge.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 01:18:07 SAST ]]> Synthesis of folate-conjugated palladium nanoparticles
