Effects of early parenteral nutrition on the development of premature infants born at 22-23 weeks of gestation: a retrospective cohort study evaluated by brain magnetic resonance imaging.

GBAS is useful for assessing brain development in very preterm infants, and the importance of nutritional support during the first few weeks of life should continue to be explored.
