Background Systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials report that probiotics reduce the risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm neonates. Aim To determine whether routine probiotic supplementation (RPS) to preterm neonates would reduce the incidence of NEC. Methods The incidence of NEC = Stage II and all-cause mortality was compared for an equal period of 24 months 'before' (Epoch 1) and 'after' (Epoch 2) RPS with Bifidobacterium breve M-16V in neonates
