Erythromycin for the prevention and treatment of feeding intolerance in preterm infants

Comparison of feeding intolerance between very preterm and moderate preterm neonates – a prospective cohort study

“…In a recent Cochrane review of the use of erythromycin in the improvement and/or prevention of feeding intolerance, the authors reported that a meta-analysis was not performed because the diverse definitions of feeding intolerance made this type of analysis unfeasible. 4 In this study feeding intolerance was observed between two groups of preterm babies ( Table 4) Forty percent of very preterm babies had feeding intolerance and 34% of moderate preterm had feeding intolerance. But the difference was not statistically significant.…”

Azithromycin in Early Infancy and Pyloric Stenosis

“…The median (IQR) age for infants prescribed erythromycin and azithromycin was 49 days (23-70) and 68 days (50-80; P , .001), respectively. The median number of days after exposure to erythromycin in which the 17 infants underwent pyloromyotomy was 13 days (range, 2-40; IQR, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. The median number of days between exposure to azithromycin in the 8 infants and subsequent pyloromyotomy was longer than the interval for the erythromycin group at 29.5 days (range, 9-45; IQR 20.5-38.5; P = .08).…”

Nutrition Algorithms and Bedside Nutrient Delivery Practices in Pediatric Intensive Care Units

“…Nutrition adjuncts are often used to overcome feeding intolerance and maximize EN delivery 24 , 25 . In this cohort, nutrition adjuncts were recommended in all algorithms and administered to most patients.…”
