Summary of findings table ‐ Quality and volume of gastric residual vs quality of gastric residual alone

Number of infants with feed interruption episodes (lasting ≥ 12 hours) · feed interruption while monitoring gastric residual

It is very uncertain whether summary of findings table ‐ Quality and volume of gastric residual changes number of infants with feed interruption episodes (lasting ≥ 12 hours) compared with quality of gastric residual alone (very low certainty).
