研究目的:

1. To evaluate the role of probiotics in prevention of mortality in premature neonates; 2. To evaluate the role of probiotics in prevention of neonatal morbidity (NEC, sepsis, intracerebral haemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia, rretinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia); 3. To estimate the time to full enteral feeding (i.e., >= 150 mL/kg/day) as an estimation of feeding tolerance and intestinal function; 4. To determine the effect of probiotics on growth (weight, height, and head circumference) of premature babies; 5. To assess comparative efficacy of single strain vs combination probiotics for aforementioned objectives.  

Objectives of Study:

1. To evaluate the role of probiotics in prevention of mortality in premature neonates; 2. To evaluate the role of probiotics in prevention of neonatal morbidity (NEC, sepsis, intracerebral haemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia, rretinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia); 3. To estimate the time to full enteral feeding (i.e., >= 150 mL/kg/day) as an estimation of feeding tolerance and intestinal function; 4. To determine the effect of probiotics on growth (weight, height, and head circumference) of premature babies; 5. To assess comparative efficacy of single strain vs combination probiotics for aforementioned objectives.

药物成份或治疗方案详述:

Preterm neonates are to be recruited and randomized within first 72 hours of birth. Those meeting the inclusion criteria are to be selected consecutively, until required sample size in groups is achieved. Random allocation into three study arms/groups: 1. Placebo: 10% dextrose water 2. Single strain- PREPRO GG (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG)-5 billion CFU; 3. Multiple strains- AMYBACT (Bifidobacterium BB-12, Lactobacillus paracasei, L casei-431, Streptococcus thermophilus TH-4). The randomization will be done by clinical pharmacist with computer generated random numbers that specify one of the three group numbers (1 or 2 or 3). Allocation is to be prescribed only after parental consent and recording basic data. The clinical pharmacist will prepare and provide the dosage containing either probiotics or placebo to nursing staff for administration. The single dose of 1.5 billion colony forming units per day (as freshly reconstituted solution) is to be administered OD for maximum 28 days for all three groups. The reconstituted solution is to be administered orally or via an orogastric tube as applicable. Intervention is delayed if the neonate goes NPO and discontinued if develops any severe condition. Neonates are to be followed upto a period of 2 year after neonatal period is completed except if dropped out due to death, transfer to peripheral hospitals, or left the study.
