Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a follow-up of the SUpporting Mothers Milk Intervention Trial (SUMMIT) - A randomized controlled trial comparing different doses of domperidone for treating lactation insufficiency in mothers of preterm infants. In the original study women were allocated to either receive domperidone 30 mg/day or 60 mg/day for 21 days.

Follow-up of SUMMIT study participants (mothers and their infants) will occur until the infant reaches 24-36 months corrected age. Study visits will be undertaken at one-month, three-months and six-months infant corrected age. A medical record audit will be conducted between 24-36 months corrected age. Study assessments at one-month, three-months and six-months infant corrected age will be conducted by telephone.

At each study visit women will complete questionnaires evaluating breastfeeding, breast health, maternal health, maternal mental health and wellbeing, as well as infant feeding practices and infant health, anticipated to take 30-60 minutes at each session.

Statistical methods / analysis
Sample size of 110 women (55 per arm) yields >80% power to demonstrate an absolute 25% increase (from 25% to 50%) in the proportion of women still providing any breast milk to their infant at 6 months infant corrected age, allowing for 10% loss to follow-up. This represents 65% of the original 170 women participating in the SUMMIT study.

The primary analysis will be performed according to the treatment group to which participants were randomised (intention-to-treat principle). A secondary per-protocol analysis will also be performed for each of the primary and secondary outcomes.

The primary outcome of any breastfeeding at 6 months infant corrected age will be compared between treatment groups using log-binomial regression. The results will be expressed as a difference in means with a 95% confidence interval and two-sided p-value. Adjustment will be made for baseline breast milk volume and the randomization strata (study centre, plurality [singleton birth or twin birth], and parity [1 or greater than or equal to 2]). A p-value of less than 0.05 will be considered to indicate statistical significance. Analysis of secondary outcomes will use log-binomial regression models for binary outcomes and linear regression models for continuous outcomes with adjustment for stratification variables and other pre-specified prognostic baseline variables. Results will be presented as relative risks and differences in means respectively, along with 95% confidence intervals. Missing data will be addressed using multiple imputation. Sensitivity analyses will also be performed using the original unimputed data.
