Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial, with parallel groups and reference group.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the hypothesis that an immunonutritional strategy, based on use of Lactobacillus paracasei CBA L74-fermented formula, prevents or limits the development of late-onset-sepsis in preterm infants.

Conditions
