Input: We identified 11 trials for inclusion in the review. All trials were small (total participants 665) and had various methodological limitations including uncertainty about methods to ensure allocation concealment and blinding. Most participants were clinically stable preterm infants of less than about 34 weeks' gestational age or with birth weight less than about 1750 g. Fewer participants were extremely preterm, extremely low birth weight, or growth restricted. Most trials found no effects on feed intolerance, assessed variously as mean pre-feed gastric residual volume, incidence of abdominal distension or other gastrointestinal signs of concern, or time taken to achieve full enteral feeds (meta-analysis was limited because studies used different measures). Meta-analysis showed no effect on the risk of necrotising enterocolitis (typical risk ratio 1.10, 95% CI 0.36 to 3.34; risk difference 0.00, 95% CI -0.03 to 0.04; 5 trials, 385 infants) (low-certainty evidence; downgraded for imprecision and design weaknesses). The identified trials provide only low-certainty evidence about the effects of feeding preterm infants protein hydrolysate versus standard formula. Existing data do not support conclusions that feeding protein hydrolysate affects the risk of feed intolerance or necrotising enterocolitis. Additional large, pragmatic trials are needed to provide more reliable and precise estimates of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.
Output:

In searches of medical databases up to 28 January 2019, we found 11 relevant trials; most were small (involving 665 infants in total) and had methodological weaknesses. Currently available evidence suggests that feeding preterm infants hydrolysed formula (rather than standard formula) during their initial hospital admission has no important benefits or harms. However, this finding is not yet conclusive, and larger trials of better quality are needed to provide evidence to help clinicians and families make informed choices about this issue. Data from these trials provide no strong or consistent evidence that feeding preterm infants hydrolysed formula rather than standard formula improved or worsened digestion or changed the risk of severe bowel problems.
