Article Synopsis
- The study tested the probiotic DSM 17938 on preterm, formula-fed infants, aiming to reduce intestinal inflammation and feeding intolerance.
- Infants were randomly given DSM 17938 or a placebo for one month, with measurements taken for gastric emptying, cytokine levels, feeding tolerance, and hospital costs.
- Results showed that the probiotic group had fewer days to reach full feeding, shorter hospital stays, and improved fecal cytokine profiles, suggesting benefits for gut health and potential cost savings for healthcare.
