Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This factorial randomised controlled trial will evaluate the effect of increasing amino acid intake (by 1 g/kg/d) and energy intake (by 20 kcal/kg/d) during parenteral nutrition and also of increasing protein intake and energy intake by an extra 1 g/kg/d during enteral nutrition, with and without the stimulation of the infant's physical activity, on growth of extremely low birth weight infants. The investigators aim at demonstrating that increasing energy and protein intake above the standard of care intakes will result in better growth only in association with adequate physical activity, in particular in relation to body composition and lean mass accretion.

Study Groups

NUTR (Nutrition) 0_STIMUL(Stimulation) 0
Standard Nutrition and no Physical Stimulation
No interventions assigned to this group
NUTR 0_STIMUL +
Standard Nutrition and Physical Stimulation
STIMUL +
Physical activity stimulation consists in flexion/extension of the 4 limbs and other motion exercises of the shoulder girdle and of the hips. This stimulation will take place before the feed for a mean of 30 times a week (minimum 24- maximum 36 times a week, 10 minutes each time) and will start within the 10th day of life until 36 weeks postmenstrual age
NUTR +_STIMUL 0
Enhanced Nutrition, and no Physical Stimulation
NUTR +
one extra g/kg/d of protein and lipids starting before 48 hours after birth until 36 weeks postmenstrual age
