Resumen
Las enfermedades diarreicas agudas representan la segunda causa de morbilidad infantil en el Ecuador y en los países en vías de desarrollo, cobrando millones de vidas, a pesar del desarrollo y difusión de la rehidratación oral. Actualmente se han establecido suplementos para las sales de rehidratación oral las que disminuyen notablemente el tiempo de recuperación y la asimilación de alimentos, como es el caso de los probióticos. En esta investigación se evaluó la eficacia de los probióticos en diarrea aguda en una población pediátrica del Hospital Nacional de Especialidades Guayaquil “Dr. Abel Gilbert Pontón” en el año 2009 mediante un estudio de tipo exploratorio - correlacional, con diseño experimental de corte longitudinal retrospectivo. Se tomó en consideración variables como sexo, edad, estado nutricional, entre otros, formando dos grupos aleatoriamente. Al grupo experimental se le administró probióticos como suplemento de la rehidratación oral. Los resultados de la investigación determinaron que no se registró una mejoría significativa de los pacientes con diarrea en los que se administraron probióticos frente a los que no usaron (p= 0,45) y más aún en la estancia hospitalaria. No se registraron efectos adversos en los pacientes y el medicamento tuvo una alta aceptación y tolerancia.
Diarrheal diseases represent the second leading cause of infant morbidity in Ecuador and in developing countries, claiming millions of lives, despite the development and dissemination of oral rehydration. Currently, there are supplements for oral rehydration salts which significantly reduce the recovery time and assimilation of nutrients, such as probiotics. In this study we evaluated the efficacy of probiotics in acute diarrhea in a population of Guayaquil Specialty Hospital Dr. Abel Gilbert Ponton "in 2009. A study exploratory, experimental design prospective longitudinal cutting. It took into account variables such as sex, nutritional status, age. Two groups were formed randomly. The experimental group was administered probiotics as a supplement to oral rehydration. With the results could establish criteria for better management of this disease. The results of the research determined that there was a better outcome of patients with diarrhea who used probiotics compared with nonusers (p = 0.45) for hospital stay. The evolution of diarrhea did not show a significant improvement in both groups in any of the days patients stayed in the hospital. In conclusion of this research can be expressed that there is no obvious improvement in patients with acute diarrhea that used probiotics compared with nonusers.
