MULTICENTRIC STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF MILK FERMENTED BY LACTOBACILLUS CASEI ON THE INCIDENCE OF DIARRHOEA
Abstract
SUMMARY: The aim of this study was to determine if supplementation of healthy children with milk fermented by yogurt cultures and Lactobacillus casei strain DN‐114 001 could affect the incidence of acute diarrhoea when compared with traditional yogurt. The study was a multicentre, randomised, double‐blind trial, conducted over four months, on 928 children aged, at inclusion, 6–24 months. The study consisted of two periods: supplementation and observation. Subjects were supplemented daily with 100 g of one of the two dairy products being tested: standard yogurt and milk fermented by yogurt cultures and Lactobacillus casei (10 8 cfu/ml). Frequency or duration of any diarrhoea episode was evaluated. As far as frequency was concerned there was a statistically significant difference between the groups, the incidence of diarrhoea being significantly reduced by supplementation with L. casei fermented milk (15.9%) compared with yogurt (22%) (p=0.03). These results suggest an additional benefit of L. casei in acute diarrhoea in children compared with standard yogurt.

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.
