Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is assess if the use of probiotic in very low weight could be other benefits a long time, as reduce atopic disease in this children.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, the investigators analyse the influence of nutrition during the early neonatal period on the development and prevention of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children with a history of very low birth weight (VLBW). A retrospective cohort study was performed of VLBW preterm infants to assess the risk of their developing AD during childhood, according to nutrition with breastmilk and/or probiotic supplementation during the neonatal period. The analysis focused on nutritional and early childhood follow-up data for 437 newborns, of whom 184 received probiotics up to 36 weeks postmenstrual age.

The neonatal history of the patients was consulted in their electronic medical records (gestacional age; birth weight; anthropometry at birth, first week and week 36 post menstrual age; nutricional management; administration of probiotics), and the presence of atopic diseases at school age was corroborated by telephone interviews.

The descriptive date were summarized using medians and interquartile intervals for the continuous variables and distribution frequencies for the categorial variables. Univariate comparisons were made by the Mann-Whitney test for the continuous variables and by the chi-square test for the categorical variables. The association of comorbidities in VLBW newborns and supplementation with one type or another of probiotic was evaluated with a multinomial regression analysis, ajustando por las variables que mostraron diferencias en el análisis de homogeneidad de los grupos de estudio. The analysis was performed using IBM SPSS 20.0 for Windows software
