About this trial

Aim: To determine whether the enteral feeding time and the type of the nutrient (according to the ERAS Recommendations) have any effect on LoS, complications, body weight gain, time until oral feeding, and time until first stool who have undergone intestinal surgery.

Design: A blinded, retrospective, randomized controlled trial. Setting: One-centred. Participants: Newborns who had intestinal surgery in the Ege University Faculty of Medicine Hospital Neonatal Surgery Intensive Care Unit and whose records can be accessed retrospectively from the electronic health records will be included. Those whose early enteral feeding initiation is contraindicated will not be included in the study.
