Prospective, randomized controlled trial on Lactobacillus rhamnosus in infants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis: Lactobacillus rhamnosus and AD
Abstract
BACKGROUND: A reduction of symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD) in small infants by the administration of Lactobacillus rhamnosus has been reported in a few studies. One study with older children and adolescents failed to show any effect. OBJECTIVES: We conducted a prospective study to reassess the efficacy of orally administered L. rhamnosus strain GG (LGG) in infants with AD. METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 54 infants aged 1-55 months with moderate to severe AD were randomized to daily 10 x 10(9) colony-forming units of LGG or to placebo during an 8-week intervention phase. Emollients, class I-II topical corticosteroids and antihistamines were permitted. RESULTS: The treatment with LGG was well tolerated. At the end of treatment there were no significant differences between the groups with respect to clinical symptoms (SCORAD, pruritus, sleep loss), the use of topical corticosteroids and antihistamines, immunological parameters, or health-related quality of life of the parents. CONCLUSIONS: Our results could not confirm LGG as an effective treatment of AD in infancy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
