In this presentation, Mandy Brown Belfort, MD, MPH, highlights current practices and ongoing questions regarding the optimal nutritional assessment of preterm infants. Dr. Belfort discusses the importance of accurately assessing nutritional status in preterm infants, with an emphasis on serial anthropometry using growth standards. The relative limitations of the reference fetus standard and the potential advantages of using preterm postnatal standards are reviewed. Looking to the future, Dr. Belfort also discusses the need for inexpensive and portable methods to monitor body composition in preterm infants and data on the use of bioelectrical impedance analysis, a promising investigational tool for measuring fat-free mass in the NICU.
