A Pooled Analysis of Growth and Tolerance of Infants Exclusively Fed Partially Hydrolyzed Whey or Intact Protein-Based Infant Formulas
Table 2
Adjusted percentages (95% CIs) of stool consistency at 1, 2, 3, and 4 months, by formula group based on a pooled analysis of individual data from four Nestlé PHF-W (Good Start) growth studies and 3 Nestlé CMF (Nan) growth studies.

Adjusted percentages are rescaled marginal probabilities of stool consistency obtained from a longitudinal multinomial regression model with adjustment for treatment, age and treatment-by-age interaction, and accounting for clustering within study and infant. P-values are based on comparisons of the marginal probability of stool consistency at each time point. Based on the number of multiple comparisons made, a p-value of <0.003 is considered statistically significant. Actual (unadjusted) pooled percentages are also presented here; some stools were reported but missing consistency categorization. |
