本文报告了一项以临床为基础的病例对照研究，探讨了2岁以下儿童粪便处理与腹泻发病的关系。根据在菲律宾大都会宿务的16个诊所招募的274例病例和381例对照的数据，结果表明，幼儿粪便的不卫生处理与34%的增长有关，（OR = 1.34），病原体阳性的腹泻增加63%（OR = 1.63）。尽管存在一些方法上的限制，但研究结果表明，正在研究的暴露变量可能是脑卒中的一个重要风险因素。由于确定与肠道病原体传播有关的具体卫生行为对于制定干预措施的价值，因此需要进一步研究。
This is a report on the relationship of disposal of faeces of children under two years old and diarrhoeal incidence from a clinic-based case-control study. Based on data on 274 cases and 381 controls recruited from 16 clinics in Metropolitan Cebu in the Phillippines over a five-month period, the results showed that unsanitary disposal of young children''s stools was associated with a 34% increase (OR = 1.34) in clinically diagnosed diarrhoeas and a 63% increase (OR = 1.63) in pathogen-positive diarrhoeas relative to those who were following sanitary practices. Despite several methodological limitations, the findings suggest that the exposure variable under investigation might be an important risk factor for diarrhoeas. Further studies are indicated because of the value of identifying specific hygiene behaviours related to the transmission of enteric pathogens for purposes of formulating interventions.
