Introduction. The nutrition in Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) infants plays an important role in their recovery and overall development. Thus, an inadequate nutritional support can result in lower growth and higher incidence of diseases, which may affect the morbidity and mortality of these infants. Objective. Determine the association between the mortality at 28 days and the nutritional support given to VLBW infants hospitalized during 2011 in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a public referral hospital in Lima, Peru. Patients and method. This retrospective cohort included 60 medical records from VLBW Infants, born and hospitalized during 2011 in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a public referral hospital in Lima, Peru. The evolution of the nutritional support and weight was evaluated, and was associated with the mortality. Results. 7 (11.7%) VLBW infants died during the study. Those VLBW infants who received less than 30 kcal/kg on the third day, were 5 times more likely to die (CI 95% 1,1 – 23,5), with a statistically significant difference (p=0,036). Conclusions. Receive lower nutritional intake on the third day is associated with an increased risk of mortality in these infants.
