A double-blinded randomized trial on growth and feeding tolerance with Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 in formula-fed preterm infants
Objective: The use of probiotics is increasingly popular in preterm neonates, as they may prevent necrotizing enterocolitis sepsis and improve growth and feeding tolerance. There is only limited literature on Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 (S. boulardii) in preterm infants. Method: A prospective...

There is only limited literature on Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 (S. boulardii) in preterm infants. Method: A prospective, randomized, case-controlled trial with the probiotic S. boulardii (50 mg/kg twice daily) was conducted in newborns with a gestational age of 30–37 weeks and a birth weight between 1500 and 2500 g. Results: 125 neonates were enrolled; 63 in the treatment and 62 in the control group. Weight gain (16.14 ± 1.96 vs. 10.73 ± 1.77 g/kg/day, p < 0.05) and formula intake at maximal enteral feeding (128.4 ± 6.7 vs. 112.3 ± 7.2 mL/kg/day, p < 0.05) were significantly higher in the intervention group. Once enteral feeding was started, the time needed to reach full enteral feeding was significantly shorter in the probiotic group (0.4 ± 0.1 vs. 1.7 ± 0.5 days, p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in sepsis. Necrotizing enterocolitis did not occur. No adverse effects related to S. boulardii were observed. Conclusion: Prophylactic supplementation of S. boulardii at a dose of 50 mg/kg twice a day improved weight gain, improved feeding tolerance, and had no adverse effects in preterm infants >30 weeks old. Resumo: Objetivo: O uso de probióticos está cada vez mais popular em neonatos prematuros, já que podem prevenir a enterocolite necrosante (ECN) e a sepse e aumentar o crescimento e a tolerância de alimentação. Há apenas uma literatura limitada sobre a Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 (S. boulardii) em neonatos prematuros. Método: Um ensaio de caso-controle prospectivo randomizado com o probiótico S. boulardii (50 mg/kg duas vezes por dia) foi realizado com recém-nascidos com idade gestacional de 30 a 37 semanas e peso ao nascer entre 1500 e 2500 g. Resultados: Foram incluídos 125 neonatos, 63 no grupo de tratamento e 62 no de controle. O ganho de peso (16,14 ± 1,96 em comparação a 10,73 ± 1,77 g/kg/dia, p < 0,05) e a ingestão de fórmula com nutrição enteral máxima (128,4 ± 6,7 em comparação a 112,3 ± 7,2 mL/kg/dia, p < 0,05) foram significativamente maiores no grupo de intervenção. Assim que a nutrição enteral foi iniciada, o tempo necessário para atingir a nutrição enteral completa foi significativamente menor no grupo probiótico (0,4 ± 0,1 em comparação a 1,7 ± 0,5 dia, p < 0,05). Não houve nenhuma diferença significativa em sepse. Não ocorreu ECN. Não foi observado nenhum efeito colateral relacionado à S. boulardii. Conclusão: A suplementação profilática de S. boulardii a uma dose de 50 mg/kg duas vezes por dia melhorou o ganho de peso, aumentou a tolerância de alimentação e não teve nenhum efeito colateral em neonatos prematuros >30 semanas de idade.
