Specific Probiotics for the Treatment of Pediatric Acute Gastroenteritis in India: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Pediatric acute gastroenteritis (PAGE) is a significant cause of morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs in many countries, but differences in PAGE vary from country-to-country; thus, we limited our analysis to 1 country. Probiotics have been recommended as an adjunct to standard treatment, but the choice of probiotic is unclear. PubMed, Google Scholar, and reviews were searched from inception to May 2020 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in India using probiotics for a treatment for PAGE.
