    Abstract ABSTRACTBackground Clinician’s choice of hypoallergenic formulas in the first-line management of cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) should be informed by evidence on clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness.Objective We compare the cost-effectiveness of amino acid-based formula (AAF), extensively hydrolyzed casein formula with Lactobacillus rhamnosus Gorbach Goldin (EHCF+LGG), extensively hydrolyzed whey formula (EHWF), and rice hydrolyzed formula (RHF) in non-breastfed children in France.Methods Immunotolerance and atopic manifestations’ prevalence were based on a prospective non-randomized study with a 36-month follow-up. Resource utilization was sourced from a survey of French clinicians, and unit costs were based on national data. Costs and health consequences were discounted at 2.5% annually. Results were reported using the Collective and French National Health Insurance perspectives.Results Children receiving EHCF+LGG were predicted to require less healthcare resources, given their reduced prevalence of CMPA symptoms at 3 years. In the base case, EHCF+LGG led to savings of at least €674 per child compared to AAF, EHWF, and RHF at 3 years, from both perspectives. Nutrition had the highest economic burden in CMPA, driven by hypoallergenic formulas and dietetic replacements costs. Results were robust to one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses.Conclusions EHCF+LGG was associated with more symptom-free time, higher immune tolerance, and lower costs.

    Abstract The trend toward using phytonutrients and/or nutraceuticals (P/Ns) with the aim of impacting immune health has increased in recent years. The main reason is that properties of P/Ns are associated with possible immunomodulating effects in the prevention and complementary treatment of viral diseases, including COVID-19 and other respiratory infections. In the present review, we assess the scientific plausibility of specific P/Ns for this purpose of preventative and therapeutic interventions against COVID-19, with an emphasis on safety, validity, and evidence of efficacy against other viruses. Five potential candidates have been identified after reviewing available studies (in silico, in vitro, and in vivo) in which certain flavonoids have demonstrated a potential for use as adjuvant therapeutic agents against viral infections, including COVID-19. As these are often better tolerated than pharmacological treatments, their use could be more widely considered if additional detailed studies can validate the existing evidence.

    Abstract Background: Clinician's choice of hypoallergenic formulas in the first-line management of cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) should be informed by evidence on clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
    Objective: We compare the cost-effectiveness of amino acid-based formula (AAF), extensively hydrolyzed casein formula with Lactobacillus rhamnosus Gorbach Goldin (EHCF+LGG), extensively hydrolyzed whey formula (EHWF), and rice hydrolyzed formula (RHF) in non-breastfed children in France.
    Methods: Immunotolerance and atopic manifestations' prevalence were based on a prospective non-randomized study with a 36-month follow-up. Resource utilization was sourced from a survey of French clinicians, and unit costs were based on national data. Costs and health consequences were discounted at 2.5% annually. Results were reported using the Collective and French National Health Insurance perspectives.
    Results: Children receiving EHCF+LGG were predicted to require less healthcare resources, given their reduced prevalence of CMPA symptoms at 3 years. In the base case, EHCF+LGG led to savings of at least €674 per child compared to AAF, EHWF, and RHF at 3 years, from both perspectives. Nutrition had the highest economic burden in CMPA, driven by hypoallergenic formulas and dietetic replacements costs. Results were robust to one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses.
    Conclusions: EHCF+LGG was associated with more symptom-free time, higher immune tolerance, and lower costs.

    Abstract In 2020, with the advent of a pandemic touching all aspects of global life, there is a renewed interest in nutrition solutions to support the immune system. Infants are vulnerable to infection and breastfeeding has been demonstrated to provide protection. As such, human milk is a great model for sources of functional nutrition ingredients, which may play direct roles in protection against viral diseases. This review aims to summarize the literature around human milk (lactoferrin, milk fat globule membrane, osteopontin, glycerol monolaurate and human milk oligosaccharides) and infant nutrition (polyunsaturated fatty acids, probiotics and postbiotics) inspired ingredients for support against viral infections and the immune system more broadly. We believe that the application of these ingredients can span across all life stages and thus apply to both pediatric and adult nutrition. We highlight the opportunities for further research in this field to help provide tangible nutrition solutions to support one's immune system and fight against infections.

    Abstract Introduction: Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is a common diagnosis in infants, requiring the exclusion of cow's milk until tolerance is recovered. In the present study, we aim to determine which factors are associated with the development of tolerance.
    Methods: Retrospective, observational study of subjects who underwent the same clinical follow-up methodology. We studied 245 cases of CMA (125 IgE-mediated and 120 non-IgE-mediated). The following variables were analysed: age at diagnosis, gender, type of delivery, type of feeding received, feeding during the first months of life, clinical features, and type of feed received as treatment: casein hydrolysates or casein hydrolysates with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG).
    Results: Factors associated with earlier tolerance were non-IgE-mediated CMA (HR = 2.92; 95% CI: 2.20-3.88) and patients receiving casein hydrolysate with LGG (HR = 1.79; 95% CI: 1.33-2.42). Later tolerance was associated with caesarean delivery (HR = 0.78; 95% CI: 0.58-1.05) and breastfeeding for a period of at least 3 days (HR = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.44-0.93). The multivariate study shows that the type of formula (HR = 1.61; 95% CI: 1.19-2.18) and the type of CMA (HR = 2.82; 95% CI: 2.12-3.85) have an effect on the recovery time. Casein hydrolysates with LGG reduces the recovery time in IgE-mediated (HR = 1.88; 95% CI: 1.17-3.01) and non-IgE-mediated CMA (HR = 1.46; 95% CI: 0.98-2.17).
    Conclusions: Tolerance acquisition is faster in non-IgE-mediated CMA subjects and in those who received casein hydrolysate with LGG.

    Abstract Background: Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) may influence the immune system. Our objective was to compare the frequency of common illnesses in infants who received formula with or without added LCPUFAs.
    Methods: In this observational, multi-center, prospective study, infants consumed formula with 17 mg DHA and 34 mg ARA/100 kcal (n = 233) or with no added DHA or ARA (n = 92). Pediatricians recorded respiratory illnesses, otitis media, eczema, and diarrhea through 1 year of age.
    Results: Infants who consumed formula with DHA/ARA had lower incidence of bronchitis/bronchiolitis (P = 0.004), croup (P = 0.044), nasal congestion (P = 0.001), cough (P = 0.014), and diarrhea requiring medical attention (P = 0.034). The odds ratio (OR) of having at least one episode of bronchitis/bronchiolitis (0.41, 95% CI 0.24, 0.70; P = 0.001), croup (0.23, 95% CI 0.05, 0.97; P = 0.045), nasal congestion (0.37, 95% CI 0.20, 0.66; P = 0.001), cough (0.52, 95% CI 0.32, 0.86; P = 0.011), and diarrhea requiring medical attention (0.51, 95% CI 0.28, 0.92; P = 0.026) was lower in infants fed DHA/ARA. The OR of an increased number of episodes of bronchitis/bronchiolitis, croup, nasal congestion, cough, and diarrhea, as well as the hazard ratio for shorter time to first episode of bronchitis/bronchiolitis, nasal congestion, cough, and diarrhea were also significantly lower in the DHA/ARA group.
    Conclusions: In healthy infants, formula with DHA/ARA was associated with lower incidence of common respiratory symptoms and illnesses, as well as diarrhea.

    Abstract To assess the effect of docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid supplementation in infant formula on the incidence of respiratory illnesses, pediatricians assigned infants to receive docosahexaenoic acid/arachidonic acid-supplemented formula or control formula. Anthropometrics, medical history, and illnesses were reported. Among 1342 infants, there was a higher incidence of bronchiolitis in control versus docosahexaenoic acid/arachidonic acid-supplemented groups at 5, 7, and 9 months (P < .01). Weight, length, and head circumference were similar for both groups. Infants fed formula supplemented with 0.32% docosahexaenoic acid and 0.64% arachidonic acid experienced a lower incidence of bronchiolitis compared with infants fed formula supplemented with no docosahexaenoic acid/arachidonic acid or lower levels of docosahexaenoic acid/arachidonic acid in the first year of life.
