Sodium Supplementation and Growth in Premature Neonates

Primary aim: to assess the impact of late (≥7 days postnatal) sodium supplementation of premature neonates with birth weight less than 2500 gm on their postnatal short-term catch-up growth. Secondary aim: to find out the effect of this sodium supplementation on fractional excretion of sodium, hemodynamics and prematurity-related short-term neonatal outcomes including morbidities and morality.
