Article Synopsis
- A multicenter study involving 15 hospitals analyzed 101 pediatric patients hospitalized due to COVID-19, focusing on gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms.
- GI symptoms were found in 57% of the patients, with 14% experiencing them as the first sign of infection.
- Children with GI symptoms had an increased risk of requiring admission to the pediatric intensive care unit, indicating that these symptoms could predict the severity of COVID-19 in hospitalized kids.
Objective: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of using an extensively hydrolyzed casein formula containing the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (eHCF + LGG; Nutramigen LGG) as a first-line management for cow's milk allergy compared with eHCF alone, and amino acid formulae in Spain, from the perspective of the Spanish National Health Service (SNS).
Methods: Decision modeling was used to estimate the probability of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated and non-IgE-mediated allergic infants developing tolerance to cow's milk by 18 months. The models also estimated the SNS cost (at 2012/2013 prices) of managing infants over 18 months after starting a formula as well as the relative cost-effectiveness of each of the formulae.
