The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of various factors (e.g. diet) on the stool consistency of infants in France.
The main objective of this study is to investigate the distribution of infant stool consistency in France in a real-world context and assess variables that are potentially associated with stool consistency. The study will involve real-world data collection via a survey. Caregiver(s) are approached/reached via social media. Caregiver(s) enter retrospective (e.g., demographics, feeding history) and current data (e.g., diet, health status), along with uploading data and images on their infant's stool. Caregivers can upload data and images as often as they want to, until their infant reaches the age of 6 months. Stool consistency will evaluated both via parent reported BITSS as well as via the Stool Tracker AI module.
