Conditions
Summary
This single-center retrospective observational study includes all human milk donors collaborating with the milk bank at České Budějovice Hospital between 2021 and 2025. Using anonymized data extracted from the hospital database, the study will quantify the frequency of donations and the individual and cumulative volume of donated human milk and will assess the impact of key maternal and perinatal factors - including age, BMI, parity, mode of delivery, and timing of donations - on the quantity and quality of donated milk, based on routine biochemical and microbiological parameters.

- Accepted as donors according to local eligibility criteria for human milk donation.
- At least one recorded donation of human milk with available data on donation date and volume in the milk bank database.
- Availability of basic maternal and perinatal data (e.g., age, BMI, parity, mode of delivery, timing of donation) in the hospital information sys-tem.
Exclusion Criteria2
- Donors with no recorded volume or date of human milk donation in the milk bank database.
