Although 5 minute
Apgar = 0 does not necessarily mean stillbirth.

Human milk feeding was independently associated with a reduced odds of infection (odds ratio [OR]
= 0.46, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.24 — 0.87;P
=.016), controlling for birth weight, 5 - minute
Apgar score, mechanical ventilation days, and days without enteral feedings.
Human milk feeding was independently correlated with a reduced odds of infection (odds ratio [OR]
= 0.43; 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.23 — 0.81), controlling for gestational age, 5 - minute
Apgar score, mechanical ventilation days, and days without enteral feedings; and was independently correlated with a reduced odds of sepsis / meningitis (OR
= 0.47, 95 % CI: 0.23 — 0.95), controlling for gestational age, mechanical ventilation days, and days without enteral feedings.
Compared with noneligible families, eligible families had slightly higher maternal age (M
= 29.2, SD
= 6.2 vs. M
= 27.5, SD
= 5.4, t
= 4.07, p <.01) and 5 - minute
APGAR scores (M
= 8.96, SD
=.39 vs. M
= 8.89, SD
=.47, t
= 2.04, p <.05).
These excluded families did not differ from remaining families (N
= 1,605) in maternal education, child race, 1 - minute
APGAR scores, gestational age, or birth weight.
Next, 10 dichotomized neonatal medical complications (1
= present, 0
= absent) were summed and standardized: apnea, respiratory distress, chronic lung disease, gastroesophageal reflux, multiple birth, supplementary oxygen at NICU discharge, apnea monitor at NICU discharge, 5 - min
Apgar score < 6, ventilation during NICU stay, and NICU stay of > 30 days.
