RESEARCH SHOWS
Preterm and sick neonates are more vulnerable to caloric and protein deficits. Extrauterine growth restriction is prominent in infants born prematurely. Nutrient deficits of only a few days can result in malnutrition as these infants have no nutrient reserves.
The prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized infants is underrecognized. Implementation of malnutrition indicators for preterm and neonatal populations helps identify nutrient deficiencies sooner resulting in better patient outcomes, improved reimbursement rates, and reduced hospital readmissions.

* PENS pushes automatic product updates to all its users. Webnova only provides automatic product updates for Similac® products, and it does not contain any other manufacturers’ products. As such, a user would have to manually load other products into the tool, and then the user would need to know when to update that product information in the tool
