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.
