Effect of a Dual-Strain Probiotic on Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Neonates with Ductal-Dependent Congenital Heart Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to investigate the effect of a dual-strain probiotic on NEC in CHD patients. Infants with aortic arch malformations appear to benefit from dual-strain probiotics. Due to the scarcity of concurrence of ductal-dependent CHD and NEC, a clinical trial on probiotics to decrease risk of NEC in infants with ductal-dependent CHD would require several thousand infants.
