TECHNICAL ABSTRACT
Background
- This systematic review was conducted as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Department of Health and Human Services Pregnancy and Birth to 24 Months Project.
- The goal of this systematic review was to examine the following question: What is the relationship between shorter versus longer durations of exclusive human milk feeding and inflammatory bowel disease?
- This systematic review examines comparisons of infants who were fed human milk exclusively for shorter durations with infants who were fed human milk exclusively for longer durations.
- Exclusive human milk feeding was defined as feeding human milk alone and not in combination with infant formula and/or complementary foods or beverages such as cow’s milk. This definition is inclusive of the World Health Organization definitions of exclusive and predominant breastfeeding, which permit limited quantities of (a) drops or syrups containing vitamins, minerals, or medicines, (b) water and water-based drinks such as sweetened water and teas, (c) fruit juice, (d) oral rehydration salts solution, and (e) ritual fluids4. Human milk was defined as mother’s own milk provided at the breast (i.e., nursing) or expressed and fed fresh or after refrigeration or freezing. Donor milk (e.g., banked milk) was not examined in this review.
- This systematic review examines diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease, only, to ensure that it addresses the relationship of shorter versus longer durations of exclusive human milk feeding with inflammatory bowel disease and not the relationship of shorter versus longer durations of exclusive human milk feeding with the many other diseases and conditions with similar symptoms.
Conclusion statement and grade
- There is insufficient evidence to determine whether or not there is a relationship between shorter versus longer durations of exclusive human milk feeding and inflammatory bowel disease in offspring.Grade: Grade Not Assignable
Methods
- The systematic review was conducted by a team of staff from the Nutrition Evidence Systematic Review in collaboration with a Technical Expert Collaborative.
- A single literature search was conducted to identify literature for several related systematic reviews that examined infant milk-feeding practices and different outcomes. The search was conducted in CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, and PubMed, and used a search date range of January 1980 to March 2016. A manual search was done to identify articles that may not have been included in the electronic databases searched.
- Articles were screened independently by 2 NESR analysts to determine which articles met predetermined criteria for inclusion.
- Data from the included article were extracted, risks of bias were assessed, and both were checked for accuracy.
- A conclusion statement was developed, and the strength of the evidence (grade) was assessed using pre-established criteria including evaluation of the internal validity/risk of bias, adequacy, consistency, impact, and generalizability of available evidence.
Summary of evidence
- This review includes 2 articles, which provided insufficient evidence to draw any conclusions about the relationship between the duration of exclusive human milk feeding and inflammatory bowel disease.
