Assignment was masked to the clinical team.\nRESULTS: Ninety-four infants (46 and 48 in the PAM intervention and control groups, respectively) completed the study. The intervention group had significantly increased oral feeding rate (2.0 vs. 0.9 mL/min, P \u003c .001), oral volume intake (91.1 vs. 48.1 mL/kg/d, P = .001), oral feeds/day (6.5 vs. 4.0, P \u003c .001), and faster time-to-full oral feedings (31 vs. 38 d, P = .04) compared with controls. Weight gain and cortisol levels during the 5-day protocol were not different between groups. Average hospital stays were 20% shorter in the PAM group, but the difference was not significant (P = .07).\nCONCLUSIONS: A PAM using mother's voice improves oral feeding skills in preterm infants without adverse effects on hormonal stress or growth.","tracks":[{"project":"Allie","denotations":[{"id":"SS1_24534413_2_0","span":{"begin":200,"end":231},"obj":"expanded"},{"id":"SS2_24534413_2_0","span":{"begin":233,"end":236},"obj":"abbr"}],"relations":[{"id":"AE1_24534413_2_0","pred":"abbreviatedTo","subj":"SS1_24534413_2_0","obj":"SS2_24534413_2_0"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"SS1_24534413_2_0","pred":"source","obj":"Allie"},{"subj":"SS2_24534413_2_0","pred":"source","obj":"Allie"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"Allie","color":"#9396ec","default":true}]}]}}
