Characteristics and outcomes of children 2–23 months of age with prolonged diarrhoea: A secondary analysis of data from the ‘Antibiotics for Children with Diarrhea’ trial
Prolonged diarrhoea was more common in children of younger age, those who were moderately underweight, those with Campylobacter in stool, those with three or more under-five children in a family, and those with illiterate mothers compared to those who had acute diarrhoea. Children with prolonged diarrhoea more often required hospitalisation during the three-month follow-up period compared to their counterparts.
