Mortality rates are high and long-term neurodevelopmental delays are common. Despite decades of research, the pathophysiology of NEC remains poorly understood. Current theories include genetic predisposition, immature intestinal function (eg motility, barrier function, immune response, microvascular tone), and inappropriate initial microbial colonization of the newborn intestine (1).The possibility that aberrant gut microbial colonization (often following early-life antibiotics) promotes inflammation and NEC provides a theoretical basis for targeting the neonatal gut microbiome with probiotics. Probiotics have been studied in this context for four decades, and the total body of evidence is substantial. A recently updated Cochrane review (2) identified 56 trials including 10,812 very preterm or very low-birth weight infants. Overall, probiotics reduce the risk of NEC by around 50%. However, the certainty of the evidence was low based on concerns that many trials were small, used unreliable methods, and tested a heterogeneous array of probiotic interventions (2).
