The infants with CCHD were assigned randomly to 2 groups. Infants in the study group were given synbiotic (Bifidobacterium lactis plus inulin) added to breast milk or mixed feeding until discharge or death. Infants in the placebo group were fed with breast milk or mixed feeding. The outcome measurements were nosocomial sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC; Bell stage \u22652), length of NICU stay, and death.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 100 infants were enrolled in the trial: 50 in each arm.

Length of NICU stay did not differ between the groups (26 [14\u201336] vs 32 days [20\u201344], P = .07]. There were 5 cases of NEC (10%) in the placebo group and none in the synbiotic group (P = .03).
