Feasibility of using ultrasound to measure preterm body composition and to assess macronutrient influences on tissue accretion rates

Background and aims: To assess ultrasound as a method for (i) measuring body composition (BC) of preterm infants and for (ii) assessing the influence of macronutrient intakes on tissue accretion rates. Methods: Preterm ultrasound studies of four anatomical sites were performed approximately every th...
