Protocol summary

Summary
We want to evaluate effect of enteral Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor(G-CSF) on feeding tolerance in very low birth weight infants . This non- randomized clinical trial study performs on preterm infants (≤1500gr birth weight) without any major anomaly. Two groups of neonates include in the study by sequential admissions. In historical control group (n=220) the enteral feeding begin and advance with our unit’s feeding policy. In trial group (n=73) the neonates so feed with unit’s feeding policy and receive enteral G-CSF daily concurrent with feeding started and continue for 7 days. The following outcome data will record: duration of hospital stay; mortality; time to establish one-half, two-thirds, and full enteral feedings; duration of total parenteral nutrition ; time of weight gain started; the in rate of necrotizing enterocolitis ; and adverse effects of enteral feeding and treatment (vomiting, increased gastric residual, abdominal distention, diarrhea, bloody stool, skin rash)

Intervention groups

1

Description
The 73 included newborns in trial group receive enteral G-CSF. These neonates feed with the unit’s feeding policy and receive a single daily dose of enteral G-CSF, 5 micg/kg (Filgrastim 300 micg/.5mL) concurrent with feeding started. The daily dose for each patient dilutes in sterile distilled water and administrates through the orogastric/nasogastric tube with milk feedings for 7 days. The unit’s feeding policy is same as historical control group including to start early trophic feeding with 10-20 mL/kg/day and progress by 10-20 mL/kg/day for as long as tolerate.

Description
In historical control group (n=220) the enteral feeding begin and advance with our unit’s feeding policy. Our unit’s feeding policy is to start early trophic feeding with 10-20 mL/kg/day, preferably breast milk if available, and progress by 10-20 mL/kg/day for as long as tolerate (as judge by the attending neonatologist). This feeding policy don't alter during this study.
