NCT ID: NCT00282113 Completed - Growth Clinical Trials

Effects of Probiotic and Prebiotic Combinations on Premature Infants

Start date: October 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to see how oral preparations containing both probiotics and prebiotics impact the growth, bacterial colonization of the intestines, and fecal short chain fatty acid content in premature infants. Our hypothesis is that short term growth will be improved, the stool will have more healthy bacteria, and the fecal short chain fatty acid content will increase in the babies who receive the probiotic/prebiotic combinations compared to control groups.
