简要总结
The primary objective is to compare weight gain (g/day) of infants receiving new protein fortifier (PF) according to a blood urea nitrogen (BUN)-driven fortification regimen to weight gain (g/day) of infants receiving PF according to a weight-driven fortification regimen (standard of care) over a 21 day period.
