Objective: This study will discuss the risk factors of feeding intolerance in preterm infants. Methods: A total of 80 preterm infants with feeding intolerance were selected as the object, and the preterm infants without feeding intolerance were selected for comparison. The samples were collected from June 2021 to May 2022, and the characteristics and related risk factors of feeding intolerance were analyzed. Results: According to the data, the incidence of symptoms and gastric retention was the highest, followed by abdominal distension and vomiting. From the data between the two groups, the gestational age and weight of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the breastfeeding time of the observation group was later than that of the control group. It can be seen that under the multivariate analysis, the breastfeeding time of the puerpera, the use of ventilator, premature rupture of membranes and other conditions may lead to feeding intolerance of preterm infants. Conclusions: The main manifestation of feeding intolerance in preterm infants is gastric retention. At the same time, we should pay attention to independent risk factors, such as birth weight, milk opening time, ventilator use, etc., so we must strengthen the prevention and pay attention to the management of feeding intolerance.
