Abstract
Infections are common in preterm infants and cause differences in cytokine levels. Aim of this study was to measure cytokine levels in preterm infants during the first year of life and to determine the effect of feeding a specific non-digestible carbohydrate mixture (scGOS/lcFOS/pAOS). Furthermore, other perinatal factors in relation to these cytokine levels were analysed.In a randomized controlled trial, preterm infants (GA
