Abstract：Objective To compare the feeding pattern of preterm infants between two hospitals in China and the United States. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Infants Results Eighty-two infants in the CCHMC group and 74 infants in the PUMCH group were enrolled. The gestational age and birth weight of infants in the CCHMC group were smaller than the PUMCH group (PPPPPPPPConclusions Preterm infants in the PUMCH group have a prolonged duration of parenteral nutrition and an increased incidence of sepsis compared to the CCHMC group. Fortified human milk feeding and more aggressive enteral feeding proposal in PUMCH is recommended.
