| Description: |
Prebiotics are defined as substrates that are selectively utilized by host microorganisms, conferring health benefits. This technical review focusing on prebiotic-supplemented infant formulas is one of the five manuscripts developed by the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition Special Interest Group on Gut Microbiota and Modifications (SIG-GMM). The SIG-GMM conducted a technical review to evaluate the clinical outcomes of prebiotic-supplemented infant formulas in healthy infants (0-12 months) that were published before 2024. The review focused on the following clinical outcomes: anthropometric measurements, stool frequency and consistency, gastrointestinal symptoms, allergy prevention, infection prevention, and safety/tolerability. Following the review, all 20 SIG members anonymously voted on each statement, scoring them from 0 to 9. A score ≥6 indicated agreement with a statement. A statement was rejected if ≥75% of the members voted |
