Abstract

Background and Aim It is previously claimed that probiotic and prebiotic use in premature infants prevents pathogenic bacterial colonization in the intestine and reduces morbidity and mortality. In this study, the effect of synbiotic (probiotic+prebiotic) use on morbidity and mortality in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants is evaluated.
