This is a follow-up study of a recently completed trial (17.14.INF) evaluating the growth of pre-term infants. Enrolled children will undergo neurocognitive assessments at 18- and 24-months of corrected age (CA).
This is a follow-up study of a recently completed multi-center, prospective, single-arm, open-label interventional trial (17.14.INF - Alprem RTF: NCT03728764) evaluating the growth of pre-term infants receiving a two-stage PTF feeding system while in the neonatal care unit and continuing until 30 days post-discharge. Enrolled children will undergo neurocognitive assessments at 18- and 24-months of corrected age (CA). The timing of the cognitive assessments aligns with routine check-up visits and reflect the period at which developmental delays may first become evident.
