    Objective: To analyze and systematize evidence on the effectiveness of enteral administration of lactoferrin for the prevention of sepsis in very low birth weight preterm newborns. Materials and Methods: The study is quantitative, observational, and retrospective with a systematic review design, including a population of 15 articles and a sample of 10 articles. Databases used were articles with full texts, and the selected articles were critically reviewed. The GRADE system was applied to assess the quality of evidence and the strength of the recommendation. Results: 90% of articles demonstrate that enteral administration of lactoferrin in preterm newborns of grade II and III reduces sepsis, and 10% indicate that no favorable results were found to prevent necrotizing enterocolitis in newborns. Conclusions: 9/10 of the studies related to enteral administration of lactoferrin prevent late-onset sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis in grade II and III preterm newborns with very low birth weight.
