Needs Statement

草榴社区入口 professionals caring for high-risk infants must stay informed about advancements in neonatal nutrition management, as inadequate early nutrition can significantly hinder growth and development, impacting long-term outcomes. Recent guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) underscore the importance of fetal nutrient retention and functional normalcy. Despite this knowledge, many premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) continue to experience slower growth than expected. Unique challenges within the NICU environment, combined with social determinants of health, further complicate the nutritional needs of these vulnerable infants. To address these issues, this interdisciplinary conference will provide pediatricians, neonatologists, nurse practitioners, dietitians, and other stakeholders with the latest resources and best practices to enhance nutritional care and ultimately improve both short- and long-term outcomes for premature infants.
