Ethics approval(s)Received from local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPaediatric peptide feed
InterventionAfter baseline measurements, patients receive either their current feed (= control) for 4 weeks followed by 4 weeks paediatric peptide feed, or paediatric peptide feed for 4 weeks followed by 4 weeks on the control feed. After 4 weeks and after 8 weeks, children return to the clinic where the outcome measures are assessed. Children are invited to participate in a 3-month open extension of the study.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureTotal score on questionnaire on gastro-intestinal tolerance: diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, flatulence and burping of paediatric peptide feed versus control feeds.
Secondary outcome measures1. Stool output (frequency, volume and consistency) of paediatric peptide feed versus control feeds
2. Mean change in weight (kg) of paediatric peptide feed versus control feeds
3. Mean change in growth, expressed as z-scores for weight and height (head circumference for children younger than two years old) of paediatric peptide feed versus control feeds
4. Mean change in triceps skin fold thickness and mid arm circumference of paediatric peptide feed versus control feeds
5. Blood concentrations of serum albumin, haemoglobin, haematocrit and C-reactive protein (CRP) of paediatric peptide feed versus control feeds
6. Convenience/ease of use of paediatric peptide feed versus control feeds
7. Dietary intake of paediatric peptide feed versus control feeds
