结局指标

主要结局

Effect of 26 week consumption of probiotic on the total number of days that, otherwise healthy, children suffer from upper respiratory tract infection (URTI)

时间窗: Entire follow up period (total of 180 days)

Presence of an URTI defined by a score of \>2 on the Jackson Cold Scale (maximum score 3) where a lower score means better outcomes compared to baseline

  • Effect of 26 week consumption of probiotic on the incidence of gastrointestinal infections(Day 0, Day 90, Day 180)
  • Effect of 26 week consumption of probiotic on the average duration of URTIs reported by participants(Day 0, Day 90, Day 180)
  • Effect of 26 week consumption of probiotic on the total number of reported missed days of school/childcare due to illness(Day 0, Day 90, Day 180)
  • Effect of 26 week consumption of probiotic on the reported incidence of antibiotic use(Day 0, Day 90, Day 180)
  • Effect of 26 week consumption of probiotic on the number of children reporting at least one URTI(Day 0, Day 90, Day 180)
