SIFT is a multi-centre randomised controlled trial to assess whether the speed of increasing milk feed volumes in very preterm (<32 weeks) or very low birth weight (<1,500 g) infants has any effect on survival without moderate or severe disability at 24 months of age corrected for prematurity. The primary objective is to assess and compare the effects of a fast (30 ml/kg/day) and a slow (18 ml/kg/day) increase in milk feed volumes on survival of very preterm (<32 weeks) or VLBW (<1,500 g) infants without moderate or severe disability at 24 months of age corrected for prematurity.

Objective, as published

SIFT is a multi-centre randomised controlled trial to assess whether the speed of increasing milk feed volumes in very preterm (<32 weeks) or very low birth weight (<1,500 g) infants has any effect on survival without moderate or severe disability at 24 months of age corrected for prematurity. The primary objective is to assess and compare the effects of a fast (30 ml/kg/day) and a slow (18 ml/kg/day) increase in milk feed volumes on survival of very preterm (<32 weeks) or VLBW (<1,500 g) infants without moderate or severe disability at 24 months of age corrected for prematurity. The secondary objective is to assess and compare the effects of a fast (30 ml/kg/day) and a slow (18 ml/kg/day) increase in milk feed volumes on survival of very preterm (<32 weeks) or VLBW (<1,500 g) infants with respect to: • Incidence of microbiologically-confirmed or clinically suspected lateonset invasive infection from trial entry until hospital discharge • Incidence of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) [Bell stage 2 or 3] from trial entry until hospital discharge • Time taken to reach full milk feeds (tolerating 150 ml/kg/day for 3 consecutive days) • Growth (weight and head circumference) at hospital discharge • Duration of parenteral feeding before hospital discharge • Length of time in intensive care • Length of hospital stay In addition to this, the data will be used to ensure that the questionnaire sent to parents at 24 months of age will not go to parents who have lost their child or no l…
