Abstract

Purpose : A prospective, controlled trial was conducted to evaluate growth, efficacy, safety and nutritional status for very low birth weight infants fed with human milk fortified with Maeil human milk fortifier (Maeil $HMF^{(R)}$; Maeil Dairies Co., Ltd.). Methods : We enrolled 45 premature infants with a birth weight <1,500 g and gestational age <33 weeks, who were born at Dong-A University Hospital from October, 2006 through December, 2007. They were divided into 2 groups: infants in one group were fed with human milk fortified with $HMF^{(R)}$, and the second were fed with preterm formula. Growth, biochemical indices, feeding tolerance, and other adverse events in each group were assessed serially and compared relatively. Follow-up data were also collected after discharge at 1, 3, and 6 months corrected age. Results : Characteristics of the 2 groups including average gestational age, birth weight, sex, respiratory distress syndrome, patent ductus arteriosus, and other adverse events (sepsis, retinopathy of prematurity, and intraventricular hemorrhage) showed no significant difference. Average feeding start day ($8.00{\pm}3.27d$ vs. $8.86{\pm}5.37d$) (P=0.99) and the number of days required to reach full feeding after start feeding ($41.78{\pm}20.47d$ vs $36.86{\pm}20.63d$) (P=0.55) were not significantly different in the group fed human milk fortified with $HMF^{(R)}$ when compared with the group that was fed preterm formula. The duration of total parenteral nutrition and the incidence of feeding intolerance also showed no differences between the 2 groups. Although infants fed with human milk fortified with $HMF^{(R)}$ showed faster weight gain than those fed with preterm formula at the end stage of the admission period, other growth indices of the two groups showed no significant difference. No significant correlations were found between the 2 groups with regard to weight gain velocity, height gain velocity, head circumference velocity, and post-discharge follow up growth indices. Conclusion : Premature infants fed human milk fortified with $HMF^{(R)}$ showed no significant difference compared with those fed preterm formula in growth, biochemical indices, and adverse events. Using human milk fortifier can be an alternative choice for very low birth weight infants, who need high levels nutritional support even after discharge from NICU.

목 적 : 최근 모유수유의 장점이 부각되고 있으나 모유가 미숙아 전용분유에 비해 열량을 포함한 영양소들이 미숙아들의 적절한 성장을 유도하기에는 낮아 이를 극복하기 위한 모유강화제가 개발되었다. 본원에서는 극소저체중출생아들을 대상으로 모유강화제를 첨가한 모유를 수유한 경우와 미숙아 전용분유를 수유한 경우를 비교하여 성장에 어떠한 효과를 미치는지 알아보기로 했다. 방 법 : 2005년 10월부터 2006년 12월까지 동아대학교의료원에서 출생하여 신생아 집중치료실에 입원한 출생체중 1,500 g 이하, 재태주령 33주 미만인 극소저체중출생아들을 대상으로 강화된 모유수유군과 미숙아 전용분유 수유군으로 나누어 전반적인 특징, 영양상태, 성장 추이 및 합병증의 발생 등을 전향적으로 비교 조사하였다. 대상 환자들 중 본원에서 추적관찰이 가능했던 환자들의 경우 외래에서 1, 3, 6개월에 걸쳐 체중, 신장, 두위를 측정하여 비교하였다. 결 과 : 두 군의 평균 재태주령 및 출생체중은 각각 $30^{+1}{\pm}2^{+1}$주과 $29^{+4}{\pm}2^{+1}$주, $1,281.30{\pm}178g$$1,234.32{\pm}193g$으로 통계학적으로 차이가 없었으며(P=0.26, P=0.38), 성비, 괴사성 대장염, 패혈증, 신생아호흡곤란증후군, 동맥관개존증, 뇌 내출혈 및 뇌실 내 출혈 등의 합병증의 비율, 평균 재원 기간에서도 유의한 차이는 없었다. 수유 시작 시기는 강화된 모유수유군과 미숙아 전용분유 수유군에서 각각 생후 $8.00{\pm}3.27$일 및 $8.86{\pm}5.37$일(P=0.99), 완전수유 도달 시기는 각각 수유시작 후 $41.78{\pm}20.47$일 및 $36.86{\pm}20.63$일로(P=0.55) 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 총정맥영양 기간 및 수유 곤란증상 횟수에도 유의한 차이는 없었다. 수유시작 시점부터의 체중, 신장, 두위의 성장 속도 및 절대치도 두 군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었으나 각 시점의 평균치를 비교하였을 때 수유 시작 후 7주째 체중은 강화된 모유수유군에서 더 빨리 증가하였다(P=0.03). 환자들의 초기 체중 감소 후 출생체중까지 회복되는데 걸리는 기간도 각각 $22.3{\pm}6.92$일 및 $24.32{\pm}10.68$일로 통계학적 차이는 없었으며(P=0.41), 체중 회복 후부터 퇴원까지의 체중 및 두위, 신장의 증가속도는 두 군에서 유의한 차이는 없었다. 퇴원 후 외래 추적 관찰을 한 각 군의 환자들의 체중, 신장, 두위의 평균치에도 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론 : 극소저체중출생아에서 모유강화제를 포함한 모유수유군과 미숙아 전용분유 수유군 간의 전반적인 성장 상태, 생화학적 검사 수치 및 합병증 발생에는 유의한 차이가 없어 모유 강화제는 고열량 수유를 필요로 하는 극소저체중출생아에서 부가적인 선택 사항이라고 하겠다.
