The Effect of a New Newborn Formula Over the Corporal Composition: a Randomized Multicentric Clinical Trial

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2020

210 participants

Abstract

This is a multicentric, randomized, blinded, controlled trial to study the effects of a new infant formula on the changes in the newborn body composition over time: weight gain, anthropometric data, incidence of infections, digestive tolerance (flatulence, vomiting and regurgitation), feces (consistency and frequency), behavior (restlessness, colic, nocturnal awakenings), count of probiotic strains of the intestinal microbiota in feces, safety and tolerability of the investigational products (measured as number, frequency and severity of adverse events in all branches of the study)

Conditions: Healthy.

Primary outcome: Weight gain at 6 months.

Enrollment: 210 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 210 participants or records.
