Born at just 24 weeks and weighing one pound and nine ounces at the OSU Wexner Medical Center, she was later moved to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital with little hope for survival.

Key Points: 
  • Born at just 24 weeks and weighing one pound and nine ounces at the OSU Wexner Medical Center, she was later moved to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital with little hope for survival.
  • They learned that if she survived intubation and heart surgery, her life expectancy would be short and filled with medical crises.
  • However, her doctors warned that due to the complications of her premature birth, there would likely be future complications that could prevent Good from living a normal life.
  • Yet even greater still is the opportunity Good believes she has as a former NICU patient to serve NICU babies and their families.

DUARTE, Calif., Feb. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Optimizing nutrition for premature infants remains an important focus in neonatal care. More than 20 peer-reviewed studies of 5,000+ preterm infants demonstrated that, compared to bovine milk-based fortifiers (BMBF), Prolacta Bioscience's human milk-based fortifiers (HMBF) improve growth and development1-7 and provide clinically significant reductions in comorbidities.1,2,8-20 The health benefits from the use of HMBF have also shown significant annual cost savings for hospitals.8 More than 100,000 critically ill and preterm infants have received Prolacta's human milk-based nutritional products.21

Key Points: 
  • While the RCTs were intended to provide a head-to-head comparison between fortifier products, the feeding protocols fundamentally differed.
  • HMBF recommendations for best outcomes regarding the day fortification should begin and the speed at which feeds are advanced were not followed in either study.
  • Given these known risks, randomizing extremely premature infants to day-one fortification with BMBF would unjustly endanger this vulnerable patient population.
  • Extensive real-world data affirm EHMD adoption enables critical health improvements for premature infants and major cost reductions for hospitals.
