Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: oropharyngeal colostrum application significantly reduces the incidence of culture-positive sepsis and mortality in preterm neonates.

Reviewers´ commentary: oropharyngeal colostrum application in premature infants is associated with a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of confirmed sepsis. However, doubts persist regarding its clinical impact in extremely premature newborns.
