To compare breastfeeding rates at discharge for very preterm infants between European regions and neonatal units, and to identify characteristics associated with breast feeding using multilevel models.
Population-based cohort of 3006 very preterm births (22-31 weeks of gestation) discharged home from neonatal units in eight European regions in 2003.
Breastfeeding rates varied from 19% in Burgundy to 70% in Lazio, and were correlated with national rates in the entire newborn population. Women were more likely to breast feed if they were older, primiparous and European; more premature, smaller and multiple babies or those with bronchopulmonary dysplasia were breast fed less. Variations across regions and neonatal units remained statistically significant after adjusting for maternal, infant and unit characteristics.
It is possible to achieve high breastfeeding rates for very preterm infants, but rates varied widely across regions and neonatal units throughout Europe.
比较欧洲各地区和新生儿病房极低出生体重儿出院时的母乳喂养率，并使用多水平模型确定与母乳喂养相关的特征。
本研究为基于人群的队列研究，纳入了 2003 年在欧洲 8 个地区的新生儿病房出院的 3006 例极早产儿（胎龄 22-31 周）。
母乳喂养率从勃艮第的 19%到拉齐奥的 70%不等，且与整个新生儿人群的全国母乳喂养率相关。如果母亲年龄更大、初产妇、欧洲裔；婴儿更早产、更小、是多胎或患有支气管肺发育不良，则母乳喂养的可能性更大。调整了母亲、婴儿和单位特征后，各地区和新生儿病房之间的差异仍具有统计学意义。
为极低出生体重儿实现高母乳喂养率是可能的，但在整个欧洲，各地区和新生儿病房的母乳喂养率差异很大。
