Figure 2

The effect of probiotics and modification by antibiotics on head circumference. The figure describes the effect of probiotics on growth velocity [difference of birth and discharge measures/number of days (duration of primary stay in hospital)] for head circumference. The effect is modified by exposure to antibiotics, the different strata are depicted on the x-axis. For each stratum, numbers of infants without probiotic treatment/with probiotic treatment are given. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 (Fisher’s exact test, two-sided).
