Numbers of Days to Achieve Complete Enteral Feeding
Primary
· 28 days or discharge from hospital
Numbers of days to achieve full enteral feeding (NFE) is defined as:
Number of Days to the first day of achieving enteral feeding of at least 150 ml/kg/day, which must be sustained for at least 3 consecutive days.

Number of Days to Achieve Discharge From Hospital or Readiness to Discharge
Secondary
· 28 days or discharge from hospital
Readiness for discharge from hospital is defined as achieving all of the below:
* Infant weight ≥ 1800g
* Stable body temperature
* Capable of oral feeding (reached full enteral feeding and not dependent on PN)
Group Value 95% CI NTRA-2112 A 36.4 ± 16.26 NTRA-2112 B 33.8 ± 14.36 Placebo 36 ± 15.21
