Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of infections
during the first 24 months of life

The total number of infections observed for each participant during its individual study participation standardised per month during the first 24 months of life. An infection is an episode of illness caused by: * Acute upper respiratory tract infections * Acute lower respiratory tract infections * Otitis media * Gastroenteritis * Urinary tract infections The duration of an episode of illness is defined as the time from the appearance of the first symptom of a study relevant infection to the disappearance of the last symptom. Infections that occur concurrently or one after another within a period of 7 days are only counted separately, if they belong to different groups of illness. All rhinitides that occur in the first year of a child's life are considered for the count of the primary efficacy variable. Rhinitides that occur in the second year will only be included if they were accompanied by fever (body temperature higher than 38.4°C during at least one measure).

Secondary Endpoints

Severity of the course of infections considered as primary variables quantified as the "duration of infections"
during the first 24 months of infants' life
Severity of the course of infections considered as primary variables quantified as the "number of hospital admissions caused by infections"
during the first 24 months of infants' life
Severity of the course of infections considered as primary variables quantified as the "mean number of in-hospital spent days due to infections"
during the first 24 months of infants' life
