Abstract:Feeding intolerance (FI) is one of the most common clinical problems in preterm infant and often leads to the delay in reaching total enteral nutrition and prolonged hospital stay. The prevention and treatment of FI are of great significance in improving the survival rate of preterm infants. With reference to current evidence in China and overseas, the clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of FI in preterm infants were developed based on Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE), so as to help neonatal pediatricians, nursing staff, and nutritionists with early identification and standard management of FI in preterm infants.
