    Objective: To systematize the evidence of the efficacy of probiotic use for the reduction of morbidity in very low birth weight preterm neonates. Materials and Methods: A systematic observational and retrospective review of a quantitative type, subjected to critical selection, using the GRADE evaluation system for identifying the level of evidence, found in the following databases: Cochrane, LILACS, Scielo, Medline Pubmed, Epistemonikos, Sciencedirect, Elsevier, Epistemonikos. Of the 10 articles systematically reviewed, 60% (n= 6/10) are meta-analyses, 20% (n= 2/10) are systematic reviews, 10% (n= 1/10) is a systematic review/meta-analysis, and 10% (n= 1/10) is experimental, so 100% of the evidence is of high quality. According to the results obtained from the systematic review conducted in this study, they come from the following countries: China (30%), followed by Taiwan (20%), USA (20%), Spain (10%), Brazil (10%), and Scotland (10%). Results: Of the evidence found, 90% (n=9/10) indicate that probiotics are effective for the prevention and reduction of morbidity in very low birth weight preterm neonates. Conclusion: 9 out of 10 articles conclude that probiotics are effective for the reduction of morbidity in very low birth weight preterm neonates.
