Clinical Trial: Enrichment of Human Milk with Human and Bovine Milk-based Fortifiers for Very Preterm Infants: a Meta-analysis

U.S., March 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06870318) titled 'Enrichment of Human Milk with Human and Bovine Milk-based Fortifiers for Very Preterm Infants: a Meta-analysis' on Feb. 03.

Brief Summary: Research has shown that provision of mother's milk is the optimal way to feed very low birthweight (VLBW) infants.
