Find out why an RCT of the effect of pasteurised donor milk, cow-milk fortifier & preterm formula on NEC in extremely preterm babies is crucial for their safety www.imperial.ac.uk/neonatal-dat... @neonatalnursesuk.bsky.social @nnrdbase.bsky.social @yhneonatalodn.bsky.social @imperialbrc.bsky.social

What’s best for babies if there isn’t enough own Mum’s milk? Some think preterm formula increases NEC risk but there’re worrying signals that donor milk adversely affects neurodevelopment. That’s why a RCT is needed. Read about COLLABORATE here www.imperial.ac.uk/neonatal-dat...

COLLABORATE is an efficient, real-world-data-enabled, adaptive, 2-randomisation trial of efficacy, effect size & safety of pasteurised donor milk, cow-milk fortifier & formula in reducing NEC. Summary, explainer video & fliers here: www.imperial.ac.uk/neonatal-dat...

Best wishes to all for the season & hopes for a peace-filled 2025
