ABCDE approach to Nutritional Assessment (Embleton, Arch Dis Child 2023)

​The last 20 years have seen dramatic improvements in the survival of preterm infants, due to improved antenatal and neonatal care. Closer attention to nutrition means early parenteral nutrition (PN) and mother’s own breast milk (MOM) are considered as standard of care. This article provides a brief approach to nutritional assessment for use on the NICU summarised as ABCDE: A – anthropometry, B - biochemistry, C – clinical, D – dietary intakes and E – environment and evaluation.
