Clinical Trial Summary

AIM: To determine the efficacy of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 at a dose of 10(9) CFU for the prevention of nosocomial diarrhea.

TRIAL DESIGN: Double-blind, placebo controlled RCT. INTERVENTION: L reuteri DSM 17938 in a daily dose of 10(9) CFU. PRIMARY OUTCOME: Nosocomial diarrhoea (3 or more loose or watery stools in a 24 h that will occur more than 72 h after admission).


Clinical Trial Description

Nosocomial diarrhea is a common problem in hospitalized children. Previously, it has been documented that the administration of L reuteri DSM 17938 at a dose of 10(8) colony forming units (CFU) compared with placebo had no effect on the overall incidence of nosocomial diarrhea (Wanke & Szajewska, J Pediatr 2012). Whether higher doses of L reuteri DSM 17938 have such effects needs to be substantiated in further randomized trials. ;


Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Prevention
