Abstract
Background and aim: Intestinal permeability (IP) is increased in animal models of prematurity and Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR), suggesting an impaired intestinal barrier integrity leading to growth delay. No study exists in humans. We aimed to perform a pilot study to assess IP in a pediatric population with persistent growth retardation and a history of preterm birth and IUGR.
