Background Sepsis is a leading cause of direct and indirect maternal death in both the UK and globally. All forms of operative delivery are associated with an increased risk of sepsis, and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s guid...

Background Observational data have shown that slowly advancing enteral feeds in preterm infants is associated with reduced risk for necrotizing enterocolitis but increased risk for late onset sepsis. However, randomized trial data are limited. Me... Read More about Controlled Trial of Two Incremental Milk-Feeding Rates in Preterm Infants.
