OBJECTIVE: To assess whether breastmilk feeding is associated with a reduced risk of @entity2107 ( @entity2107 ). Secondary outcome measures analyzed were @entity989 ( @entity989 ) and @entity3166 ( @entity3166 ). STUDY DESIGN: In an ongoing multicenter cohort study, the data of 1433 very low birth weight @entity1 born before 32  weeks of gestation and discharged in 2013 were analyzed. We compared growth and neonatal complications of @entity1 who received breastmilk exclusively (N  =  223) with those who received formula feedings exclusively (N  =  239). @entity2357 models were estimated for @entity2107 , @entity989 , and @entity3166 using nutrition as an independent variable. The Firth logistic regression model and Lasso were used for sensitivity analyses. RESULTS: Exclusively breastmilk-fed @entity1 gained less weight compared with formula-fed @entity1 . @entity214 for weight decreased between birth and discharge (median (Q1-Q3): formula -0.9 (-1.4 to [-0.5]) vs breastmilk -1.1 (-1.7 to [-0.6])). Exclusive formula feeding of very low birth weight @entity1 was associated with increased risks of @entity2107 (OR 2.6) as well as @entity3166 (OR 12.6) and @entity989 (OR 1.80) after controlling for known risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: Exclusive breastmilk feeding was associated with lower growth rates and a reduced risk of @entity2107 as well as @entity3166 and @entity989 .
