Abstract

Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a common dangerous gastrointestinal emergency in neonatology, especially in premature infants, which can cause serious problems. Objectives: This study was conducted to find out whether administration of probiotics could lead to prevention and/or treatment of NEC. Methods: 115 premature newborns weighting 750-1500 g or less than 32 weeks’ gestation were checked daily for NEC signs and weight gain and mean day of full feed achievement was recorded. Results: The incidence of NEC and C-reactive protein (CRP) rise showed a significant difference (P = 0.02) between the two (case and control) groups, but the difference regarding mean duration of oxygen therapy, TPN, full feeding achievement, and hospitalization was not significant. Conclusions: These results showed positive effects of probiotics on preventing and treating NEC, especially NEC grade 3 in ELBW and VLBW neonates. © 2017, Iranian Journal of Pediatrics.
