Abstract:
Preterm newborns are a group in pediatrics that require more hospital care compared to term
infants. They may present several nutritional risks and comorbidities, making it paramount that
they receive the appropriate supplies for each individuality. With this in mind, the objective is
to analyze information about the quality indicators in nutritional therapy in hospitalized
pediatric patients. The current work consists of an integrative systematic review of literature,
with development through the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-
Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. In 2019, a systematic review of 12 papers, including 1,879
infants < 2,500 g birth weight, demonstrated that formula nutrition, compared with mostly
unsupplemented Donated Human Milk (DHL), resulted in improved weight gain, linear length,
and head growth. The European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and
Nutrition (ESPGHAN) recommends 1.5 g/kg/day for amino acids, lipid emulsions should not
exceed 4 g/kg/day and glucose being recommended initially at 4-8 mg/kg/min and prevent
overfeeding or excessive glucose loading. Based on the above, the present research aims to
present information about the repercussions inherent to Enteral Nutritional Therapy (ENT) in
hospitalized premature newborns. As well as, contribute to enhance the ways that lead to the
specialized treatment for these patients, taking into account a multidisciplinary care and a
horizontal model, i.e., a health model that aims at the complete well-being of neonates and their
guardians, taking into account aspects that go beyond the health-disease state, aspects that
include the social, economic, cultural, religious and environmental aspects.
