- To study the effect of racecadotril on reduction in the duration of acute rotavirus and non-rotavirus diarrhea. Two randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials Community-based trial in an urban area in Vellore, hospital-based trial at a secondary hospital in Vellore 199 and 130 3-59 month old children in the community- and hospital-based trials, respectively. Racecadotril (1.5 mg/kg/dose, thrice a day for three days) or placebo were given to manage acute diarrhea in both trials. Median duration of diarrhea. Among 124 children completing the hospital trial, the median duration of diarrhea was 25 h in both arms (P=0.5); median total stool weight was 74 g/kg and 53.5 g/kg in racecadotril group and placebo group, respectively (P=0.4); and average fluid intake per day was 3.6 mL/kg/h and 3mL/kg/h in racecadotril and placebo arms, respectively (P=0.3). Among rotavirus-positive children, median duration of diarrhea was 26.9 h and 30.2 h in racecadotril and placebo arms, respectively (P=0.7). In the community, 196 completed the trial, the median duration of diarrhea was 2 days for both arms (P=0.8) and rotavirus positive children had similar outcomes with median diarrheal duration of 3 d in both arms (P=0.4). Treatment with racecadotril did not reduce diarrheal duration, stool volume or the requirement for fluid replacement in children with acute gastroenteritis, both with and without rotavirus infection.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We analyzed data from the electronic database of Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) site in Ballabgarh in North India to assess sex-specific differentials in child survival from 1992-2011. Sex ratio at birth was adverse for girls throughout the study period (821 to 866 girls per 1,000 boys) and was lowest in the period 2004-2006 at 821 girls per 1,000 boys. Overall, under-five mortality rates during the period 1992-2011 remained stagnant due to increasing neonatal mortality rate (9.2 to 27.7 P< 0.001). Mortality rates among girls were consistently and significantly higher than boys during the post-neonatal period (160% to 200% higher) as well as in childhood (160% to 230% higher). We recommend strategies to address the neonatal mortality and gender differences for further reductions in child mortality in India.
