  1. Abbreviations: HM, human milk; EF, experimental formula; SF, standard formula; values presented are means (s.d.).
  2. aEfficacy analyzable population; growth velocity = rate of change from baseline to day 120.
  3. bSignificant difference between SF vs HM group, P<0.05 (P-value based on two-sample t-test).
  4. cSignificant difference between EF vs HM group, P<0.05 (P-value based on two-sample t-test).
