“…Improved sanitation and other preventative measures, like exclusive breastfeeding (which reduces the risk of diarrhea), extended nursing up to 24 months of age, and fortified supplemental feeding are all projected to reduce mortality and illness. 12 Diarrhea and dehydration can be effectively treated with oral rehydration solutions made from either glucose (G-ORS) or rice (R-ORS). 13 Group A, treated with G-ORS alone, had a mean of 2.15±0.77 stools at 48 hours, while group B, treated with G-ORS and rice soup, had 2.08±0.73 stools per day (p= 0.91 for both).…”

Introduction: Acute gastroenteritis-related diarrhea is a major contributor to pediatric morbidity and mortality. Although the success of various oral rehydration formulations varies and the treatment of choice ultimately depends on the underlying reason, oral rehydration remains crucial for efficient early therapies. Objective: To compare outcome of Glucose ORS with and without rice based ORS in treatment of acute gastroenteritis from 6 month to 5 years in terms of mean stool frequency. Study Design: Randomized clinical trial Settings: The study will be done at department of Peads Ittifaq Hospital Lahore from 9 December 2018 to 19 June 2019. Sample Technique: Non probability consecutive sampling Methodology: Children of both sexes were included in this analysis of gastroenteritis cases between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. They divided into two separate groups. For 48 hours, group A was given G-ORS, whereas group B was given rice soup. Over the course of 48 hours, the typical individual needs to use the washroom. Results: Eighty people took part in the study (forty in each group). There were 25 males in Group A (40.02%), and 26 in Group B (50.98%). The average ages of those in Group A and Group B were very comparable (3.30±1.18 vs. 2.07±1.03 years, p=0.29). The baseline stool frequency of Group A was 4.11±2.33, while that of Group B was 5.01±2.81 (p= 0.51). Group A also had a higher mean weight, at 6.87±1.97, than Group B, at 6.28±2.01. Group A had an average of 2.15±0.77 bowel movements in 48 hours, while Group B had an average of 2.08±0.73 (p=0.91). The mean frequency was 2.170.78 for males, 2.14±0.69 for females, and 2.11±0.72 for both sexes combined (p=0.91). There were no statistically significant differences in age, BMI over 10, or baseline frequency. Practical implication: The purpose of this research was to more exactly explain the authentic benefit of rice-based ORS in comparison to glucose ORS and to evaluate whether or not there is significant differences. Conclusion: Both groups reduced the number of incidences of the confounding variable roughly at the same rate, and there was no statistically significant difference between them either in terms of that reduction or in terms of stratification of any of the study's other confounding variables.

Background In developing countries, diarrhoea causes around 500,000 child deaths annually. Zinc supplementation during acute diarrhoea is currently recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Objectives To evaluate oral zinc supplementation for treating children with acute or persistent diarrhoea. Search methods We searched the Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group Specialized Register, CENTRAL (the Cochrane Library 2016, Issue 5), MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS, CINAHL, m RCT, and reference lists up to 30 September 2016. We also contacted researchers. Selection criteria Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared oral zinc supplementation with placebo in children aged one month to five years with acute or persistent diarrhoea, including dysentery. Data collection and analysis Both review authors assessed trial eligibility and risk of bias, extracted and analysed data, and drafted the review. The primary outcomes were diarrhoea duration and severity. We summarized dichotomous outcomes using risk ratios (RR) and continuous outcomes using mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Where appropriate, we combined data in meta‐analyses (using either a fixed‐effect or random‐effects model) and assessed heterogeneity. We assessed the certainty of the evidence using the GRADE approach. Main results Thirty‐three trials that included 10,841 children met our inclusion criteria. Most included trials were conducted in Asian countries that were at high risk of zinc deficiency. Acute diarrhoea There is currently not enough evidence from well‐conducted RCTs to be able to say whether zinc supplementation during acute diarrhoea reduces death or number of children hospitalized ( very low certainty evidence ). In children older than six months of age, zinc supplementation may shorten the average duration of diarrhoea by around half a day (MD −11.46 hours, 95% CI −19.72 to −3.19; 2581 children, 9 trials, low certainty evidence ), and probably reduces the number of children whose diarrhoea persists until day seven (RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.88; 3865 children, 6 trials, moderate certainty evidence ). In children with signs of malnutrition the effect appears greater, reducing the duration of diarrhoea by around a day (MD −26.39 hours, 95% CI −36.54 to −16.23; 419 children, 5 trials, high certainty evidence ). Conversely, in children younger than six months of age, the available evidence suggests zinc supplementation may have no effect on the mean duration of diarrhoea (MD 5.23 hours, 95% CI −4.00 to 14.45; 1334 children, 2 trials, low certainty evidence ), or the num...
