Probiotics to prevent necrotising enterocolitis and nosocomial infection in very low birth weight preterm infants.
The aim of the study was to determine whether routine probiotic supplementation (RPS) with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) or Lactobacillus acidophilus +Lactobacillus bifidum is associated with reduced risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC)≥Stage II in preterm neonates born at ≤32 weeks' gestation. We conducted a retrospective cohort study on the effect of probiotic supplementation in very lo...
متن کاملProbiotics to prevent necrotising enterocolitis in very preterm infants.
INTRODUCTION Meta-analyses of randomised trials have shown that probiotics reduce the risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants. However, the generalisability of these results, particularly for the most preterm infants, remains unresolved. Hence, we wanted to evaluate the benefit of implementing prophylactic use of probiotics as standard care in infants younger than 30 weeks of...
متن کاملSlow advancement of enteral feed volumes to prevent necrotising enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants.
BACKGROUND Early enteral feeding practices are potentially modifiable risk factors for necrotising enterocolitis in very preterm or very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Observational studies suggest that conservative feeding regimens that include slowly advancing enteral feed volumes reduce the risk of necrotising enterocolitis. However, slow feed advancement may delay establishment of full en...
متن کاملDelayed introduction of progressive enteral feeds to prevent necrotising enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants.
BACKGROUND The introduction of enteral feeds for very preterm (< 32 weeks) or very low birth weight (< 1500 g) infants is often delayed for several days or longer after birth due to concern that early introduction may not be tolerated and may increase the risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). However, delaying enteral feeding could diminish the functional adaptation of the gastrointestinal t...
متن کاملPreventing necrotising enterocolitis in very preterm infants: current evidence
Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common serious gastrointestinal disorder affecting very preterm or very low birth weight infants. The risk is inversely proportional to gestational age and weight at birth. Fetal growth restriction and compromise may be additional specific risk factors. Postnatally, a variety of practices have been implicated in the pathogenesis of NEC including formu...
