Protocol summary

Study aim
To determine the effects of enteral probiotics on inflammatory markers and prognostic scores in the critically ill trauma patients
Design
This is a double-blind, randomized phase 3 clinical trial on 80 critically ill trauma patients. Stratified randomization is used.
Settings and conduct
The study will take place in the ICU of Alzahra hospital in Isfahan, Iran from 23rd of October 2021 for 15 months. After randomization and assessment of baseline data the intervention will start for 7 days. Primary outcomes will be assessed on day 8. The study is double-blind and the primary researcher, nurses, patients, and data analyzers will be blind to the intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients who are admitted to the ICU due to multiple trauma; patients older than 18 and younger than 70 years of age; patients who are expected to stay in the ICU for more than 7 days. Exclusion criteria: patients who do not consent to participate in the study; patients who have an absolute contraindication for enteral feeding; pregnant patients; ; patients who are discharged from the ICU or die during the study; patients with an APACHE II score of more than 34 (mortality rate of 85% and higher).
Intervention groups
Two capsules of LactoCare from Zist Takhmir pharmaceuticals will be given to each patient every 12 hours in the intervention group for 7 days. Placebo will be given to the control group at an identical dose and time.
Main outcome variables
The primary outcomes of the study will be to assess the changes in CRP and patient prognostic scores such as APACHE II, SOFA, and SAPS on days 1 and 8 of the intervention between the two groups. 28-day mortality will also be assess at the end of the study.

Double blinded
Blinding description
Drugs and placebo will be kept with a person who is not involved in patient selection and allocating the intervention. After enrolment of qualified individuals based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, drug/placebo boxes will be released to the person giving the intervention. After data analysis, the placebo and intervention group will be revealed.
