Probiotic-associated invasive infections were rare in very preterm infants, according to a large retrospective cohort study. @ravimpatelmd medpagetoday.com/pediatrics/…
Glad to see a good summary of our paper in medpagetoday.com/pediatrics/…
And a thoughtful commentary that adds more context to our study: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Invasive infection with Bifidobacterium or Lactobacillus was uncommon among very #PretermInfants, including infants with and without #Probiotics exposure in this multicenter cohort.

A new research letter on probiotic associated invasive infections in preterm infants has been published today (July 31, 2026). The letter is part of the @JAMANetworkOpen initiative and presents a comprehensive database of events. While the number of events is relatively small, it provides the absolute risk figures that every NICU has been eagerly awaiting.
“Probiotic-Associated Invasive Infection Among Preterm Infants.”

Thank you Shetal for helping to honor Allison’s legacy and give a fantastic inaugural lecture on advocacy for neonatologists
Honored beyond words to deliver the inaugural Dr. Allison Rose 🌹 Advocacy Lecture at Emory @childrensatl @ravimpatelmd @EmoryMedicine earlier this year. Dr. Rose’s work continues to improve the health of babies nationwide. A massive loss to the field of neonatology.

When transfusing preterm infants, it's more than just WHEN, its WHAT:
Our prospective NHLBI REDS-IV-P study evaluates how factors starting from the vein of the 🩸 blood donor to the vein of the transfused infant may impact outcomes

What happened to NEC rates after changes in probiotic use post FDA actions in Fall of 2023?
We used a large US cohort to answer this question
TL;DR: NEC rates increased ~60% in centers that stopped use @veeraltolia @kaashif_ahmad @jenncanvasser @NECsociety
#preventNEC
👇
Tolia et al. conducted a natural experiment observational study comparing NEC among infants in high versus low probiotic-use centers to evaluate changes in probiotic use and NEC in preterm infants following the 2023 FDA actions.
