Although probiotics have been reported to improve clinical outcomes, evidence regarding their effect on mortality remains inconsistent. Furthermore, no study has examined whether probiotic administration influences the development of persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PICS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective cohort study analyzed adult patients admitted to intensive care units using a claims database. Patients who received any probiotics between Days 1 and 3 were defined as the probiotics group, and the others as the comparator group. A propensity score\u2010matched analysis was conducted. The primary outcome was 28\u2010day mortality, and the secondary outcomes were PICS on Days 28 and 14, and other clinical indicators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 79,243 patients were included in the analysis, and 3730 matched pairs were generated. After matching, 28\u2010day mortality was lower in the probiotics group than in the no\u2010probiotics group (6.3% vs. 7.9% in the first dataset; pooled risk difference [95% confidence interval], \u22121.6% [\u22123.0% to \u22120.3%]).
