A comparison of the age of achieving full enteral/full oral feeding between the OAC and control groups among all infants/ELBW infants. A A comparison of the age of achieving full enteral feeding between the OAC and control groups among all infants. B A comparison of the age of achieving full enteral feeding between the OAC and control groups among ELBW infants. C A comparison of the age of achieving full oral feeding between the OAC and control groups among all infants. D A comparison of the age of achieving full oral feeding between the OAC and control groups among ELBW infants. This box plots showed the effects of OAC, which shortened the time to achieve full enteral feeding for all infants (A) and ELBW infants (B) but did not lower the age of achieving full oral feeding for all infants (C) or ELBW infants (D) in this study. From the bottom to top of each box, the five numerical points represented the minimum observed value (lower edge), 25% quantile, median, 75% quantile, and maximum observed value (upper edge), respectively. The hollow circle at the upper part of each box showed the outlier
