Gastroenteritis

This study evaluated whether end-tidal carbon dioxide predicts weight change in children with vomiting and/or diarrhea.

Objective: To determine whether single-dose oral ondansetron administration to children with vomiting as a result of acute gastroenteritis without dehydration reduces administration of intravenous fluid rehydration.

Objective: To determine whether the use of probiotics improves outcomes in children with gastroenteritis.

Objective: to assess the efficacy of an oral rehydration solution enriched with Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 and zinc in well-nourished, non-hospitalized infants with acute diarrhoea.

This study evaluated outcomes for children with acute gastroenteritis who received Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG versus placebo.

This study evaluated six leading gastroenteritis guidelines for stool testing recommendations.

This study evaluated if oral swabs are a suitable alternative specimen to stools for identifying enteric viruses from children with acute gastroenteritis.

Objective: To identify the gaps in the care of children infected with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, this study sought to quantitate care received and management timelines.

Objective: to compare the enteropathogen yields of rectal swabs and stool specimens in children with diarrhoea or vomiting, or both.

Objectives: To evaluate feasibility of a nurse-guided clinical decision support system for rehydration treatment in children with AGE, and the impact on diagnostics, treatment, and costs compared with usual care by attending physician.

Objectives: To characterize the cases of discordant norovirus genogroup II (NoV GII) results between Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP) and Gastroenteritis Virus Panel (GVP), and determine the sensitivity of the two assays for specific NoV GII genotypes.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of Plasma-Lyte A (PLA) versus 0.9 % sodium chloride (NaCl) intravenous (IV) fluid replacement in children with moderate to severe dehydration secondary to acute gastroenteritis.

This study sought to determine if the following tools - 1) pathways/order sets, 2) medical directives for oral rehydration therapy (ORT) or ondansetron, and 3) printed discharge instructions - are associated with acute gastroenteritis admission and emergency department revisits.

Objective: To determine if oral hydration with dilute apple juice/preferred fluids is noninferior to electrolyte maintenance solution in children with mild gastroenteritis.

Objective: To evaluate whether a single oral dose of ondansetron vs domperidone or placebo improves outcomes in children with gastroenteritis.

Objective: To determine whether C-reactive protein (CRP) testing should be offered to all acutely ill children in primary care or restricted to those identified as at risk on clinical assessment.

Objective: To examine the cost-effectiveness of using point-of-care electrolyte testing vs traditional serum chemistry testing in the pediatric emergency department for children with acute gastroenteritis.

This study evaluated the rates of day care absenteeism of children with gastroenteritis treated with probiotics.

The objective of this retrospective study is to determine whether increasing emergency department ondansetron use results in a reduction in intravenous rehydration rates in children with gastroenteritis.

The aim of the study is to determine whether intravenous fluid administration to children with gastroenteritis is independently associated with a reduction in unscheduled emergency department (ED) revisits within 7 days.

The aim of this trial is to determine whether a single dose of ondansetron would improve outcomes in children with gastroenteritis.

The objective of this trial is to test the hypothesis that the failure rate of oral rehydration therapy would be not be >5% greater than the failure rate of intravenous fluid therapy for moderately dehydrated children.
