About
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of high-calorie density formula (HDF) and standard formula (SF) in infants with congenital heart surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:
A group of participants will be given HDF (1 kcal/ml) from enrollment until three months. Researchers will compare them to the group of participants who are given SF (0.67 kcal/ml) to see if there is any difference in nutritional status, calorie intake, and other clinical outcomes between the two groups.
Full description
The study is a randomized, double-blind controlled trial to compare the efficacy of HDF formula compared to SF in nutritional and clinical outcomes among infants who had congenital heart surgery in Harapan Kita National Cardiovascular Centre (HKNCC), Jakarta, Indonesia.
The researchers use consecutive sampling to include eligible infants and obtain informed consent from the parent or legal guardian of infants who fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Block randomization is done by a research assistant, and then the allocation is prepared using a sealed envelope to assign infants into HDF and SF groups.
Participants are then assessed by a multi-professional team and given enteral feeds based on local guidelines. Routine follow-up is done at 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months after the intervention to record weight, length, and any episode of complication or adverse events.
