Clinical Trial: Impact of Sex and Own Mother's Milk Pasteurization on Morbidity and Mortality of Very Low Birth Weight Infants

U.S., Feb. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07411872) titled 'Impact of Sex and Own Mother's Milk Pasteurization on Morbidity and Mortality of Very Low Birth Weight Infants' on Jan. 30.

At present, the merits and risks of pasteurising mother's own milk (recommended if the mother is positive for cytomegalovirus) are unknown.
