Effects of fructo-oligosaccharide-supplemented infant cereal: a double-blind, randomized trial.
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) may have potential benefits, since they exhibit many soluble dietary fibre-like properties. Foods currently available for weaning infants are generally low in fibre content and lack these potential benefits. Data documenting tolerance of FOS in weaning foods are greatly lacking. Our present objective was to evaluate the tolerance and gastrointestinal effects of FOS...
متن کاملBlindness in Randomized Controlled Trials
In combination with randomization, blinding or masking is an important factor in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), particularly in trials that assess therapeutic effects. Here an attempt is made to explain blindness and why it is important. In clinical trials, blinding is defined as the condition imposed on a study in which study participants, health care providers and assessors collecting o...
متن کاملInfant iron status affects iron absorption in Peruvian breastfed infants at 2 and 5 mo of age.
BACKGROUND Effects of prenatal iron supplementation on maternal postpartum iron status and early infant iron homeostasis remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVE We examined iron absorption and growth in exclusively breastfed infants in relation to fetal iron exposure and iron status during early infancy. DESIGN Longitudinal, paired iron-absorption (⁵⁸Fe) studies were conducted in 59 exclusively b...
متن کاملBiased Safety Reporting in Blinded Randomized Clinical Trials: Meta-Analysis of Angiotensin Receptor Blocker Trials
BACKGROUND Cough is listed as an adverse drug reaction (ADR) on the labels of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB). However, a causal association with cough has also been reported for angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), which have frequently been used as comparator drugs in the registration clinical trials of ARBs. This prompted us to examine the possible influence of using comparat...
متن کاملEffect of an α-Lactalbumin-Enriched Infant Formula Supplemented With Oligofructose on Fecal Microbiota, Stool Characteristics, and Hydration Status
AIMS To evaluate the impact of oligofructose (OF)-supplemented infant formula on fecal microbiota, stool characteristics, and hydration. METHODS Ninety-five formula-fed infants were randomized to α-lactalbumin-enriched control formula (CF) or identical formula with 3.0 g/L OF (EF) for 8 weeks; 50 infants fed human milk (HM) were included. RESULTS Eighty-four infants completed the study, 70 ...
