| Resumo: | Objective: To verify the feeding profile offered to preterm infants (PTNBs) hospitalized in Neonatal Units.
METHODS: This is a longitudinal descriptive study performed with PTNB infants admitted to two public hospitals in Rio Grande do Norte, named Hospital (HA) and Hospital B (HB). During hospitalization, the infants were followed up using a form that included anthropometric information and the infant's diet. The energy requirements were calculated and their adequacy was evaluated in relation to the diet offered.
Results: The sample resulted in a total of 30 PTNs (HA = 14 and HB = 16). HA presented better diet quality than HB. However, no newborns were breastfed on the 1st day of life. The PTNBs spent several days until they reached the adequate intake for their energy needs (mean of 9.3 days in HB and 7.5 days in HB), however, at the end of hospitalization, the majority reached caloric adequacy (HA = 75.8 % and HB = 68.8%) and was exclusively breastfed (HA = 100% and HB = 81.3%). There was a correlation between the percentage of food adequacy and the weight gain of the PTNBs (p = 0.006), as well as the hospital stay (p = 0.003) in both hospitals.
Conclusion: The majority of neonates received the adequate caloric intake and the percentage of diet adequacy was positively associated with the increase in infant weight and hospital length of stay. |
