A total of 14 articles were selected for further analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Data Extraction: Data from the included studies were extracted by 2 independent reviewers. These data included the study design, participant characteristics, inclusion and exclusion, intervention characteristics, outcome measures, and the main results of the study.<\/p>\n<p>Data Synthesis: The meta-analysis did not show any significant effect of probiotic supplementation on the number of days of illness or the mean number and duration of URTI episodes, but there was a significant effect of probiotic supplementation on total symptom severity score (\u20130.65, 95% CI: \u20131.05; \u20130.25, p = 0.02). Lower levels of IL-6 (\u20132.52 pg\/ml, 95% CI: \u20134.12, \u20130.51, p = 0.001) and TNF-\u03b1 (\u20132.31 pg\/ml, 95% CI: \u20134.12, \u20130.51, p = 0.008) were also reported after supplementation.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusions: This meta-analysis provides evidence that probiotic supplementation, especially among professional athletes, is an effective way to decrease the total URTI symptom severity score. Additionally, probiotic supplementation may decrease TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 levels. There is a need for more studies with larger groups to better estimate this effect. It is necessary to determine the best timing, duration, composition and dose of such supplementation.<\/p>\n<p>Key words: upper respiratory tract infection, athletes, probiotic, inflammatory<\/p>\n<p>Athl Train. 2021 Jan 22. doi: 10.4085\/592-20.
