NCT ID NCT07296718

Summary

This study tested whether giving probiotics (live 'good' bacteria) to premature babies could prevent serious and sometimes deadly gut infections (NEC) and sepsis. It also looked at whether probiotics helped babies tolerate feedings better and grow faster. Researchers compared a single probiotic strain, a mix of several strains, and a placebo (inactive substance) given daily for 28 days to 249 premature infants.
