However, in preterm newborns, exclusive breastfeeding can lead to nutritional deficiencies, with short- and long-term consequences on growth and neurocognitive development. Breast milk fortification is a widely used strategy to provide an adequate nutritional profile to these patients. There is currently a great heterogeneity in terms of fortification patterns and the type of fortifier. The present systematic review summarizes the current scientific evidence to evaluate the different strategies for fortification of human milk in preterm infants, their possible differences on benefits, and the hypothetical impact on prematurity outcomes.}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, keywords = {Breastmilk fortification}, keywords = {Donor human milk fortification}, keywords = {Human milk}, keywords = {Human milk fortifiers}, keywords = {Preterm newborns}, title = {Strategies for the Fortification of Human Milk in Preterm Infants: A Systematic Review}, doi = {10.7759/cureus.73380}, author = {Contreras Chova, Francisco and Villanueva-García, Andrea and González-Boyero, JL and Campos Martínez, Ana and Blanca Jóver, Enrique and Jerez Calero, Antonio Emilio and Uberos Fernández, José}, }
