Effects of Probiotics on Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study was designed as a prospective controlled study to investigate the effects of probiotic support started immediately after birth on newborn jaundice in breastfed babies born by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery.

Clinical Trial Description

Objectives: Enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin imposes an extra burden of approximately 30% on total serum bilirubin levels. Intestinal microflora is the main factor affecting enterohepatic circulation. This study investigated the effects of probiotic support started immediately after birth on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in babies born by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery and breastfed only.

Methods: A total of 150 healthy term newborns were included in the study and allocated in the study and control groups. Immediately after birth, newborns in the study group received probiotic in liquid drop form (Maflor® drops containing Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG 109 Colony Forming Units(CFU), Mamsel Pharmaceuticals, Turkey), at a dose of 5 drops a day orally for 10 days. Newborns in the control group received 5 drops of saline solution per day orally, instead. In addition to routine biochemical examinations;serum bilirubin levels in the cord blood, and blood samples of the newborns on the 3rd, 5th and 10th days of birth were measured in all subjects in both groups. Defecation frequency was recorded for all subjects. ;
