Clinical factors predicting rotavirus diarrhea in children: A cross-sectional study from two hospitals.

Background: Rotavirus is still a significant contributing morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients.

Aim: To look at clinical signs and symptoms and laboratory findings that can predict rotavirus gastroenteritis compared to non-rotavirus gastroenteritis.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with medical records obtained from December 2015 to December 2019.

Inferior vena cava to aorta ratio in dehydrated pediatric patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Dehydration due to acute diarrhea is among the leading causes of mortality. However, advancements in management and technology do not help clinicians differentiate dehydration degrees. Ultrasound using the inferior vena cava to aorta (IVC/ Ao) ratio is a promising noninvasive technique to identify significant pediatric dehydration.
