简要总结
This prospective cohort study was conducted on stable preterm infants (31 to 35 weeks gestation). Neonates were subjected to either daily KMC for 60 minutes, daily KMC for 120 minutes or conventional care (controls) for at least 7 days. Neonates were evaluated by Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioral Scale (NNNS) at 36 weeks gestation. Salivary cortisol was measured before and after first KMC session and after 7 days.
