Effectiveness and Risks of Probiotics in Preterm Infants https://t.co/hEmM8sQFnW Probiotics used in Canadian NICUs were associated with reduced mortality independent of necrotizing enterocolitis and late-onset sepsis. Probiotic sepsis was rare, with scarce fatal cases.

INVOLVE PARENTS!

Plethora of RCTs & MA but no RCT w NEC as primary outcome shown benefit. No RCT ever powered w NEC as primary outcome.

Disappointing as NEC responsible for >1:20 child death before age 10 years

Unbelievable! How is the Daily Mail showed to publish this?!

“Nutritional content: ‘Look for formulas that contain essential nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals’”

In this @aap_peds paper, NEC decreased through quality improvement, a key strategy was to increase mom's own milk provision. Decrease in NEC was sustained in particular for Black infants. https://t.co/IHYX68IGDH #ebneoalerts #equity4babies #EBNEOEquityAlerts #neotwitter #neoEBM
