The effect of the National Control of Diarrheal Diseases Project, started in 1983, on infant and childhood mortality in Egypt was assessed by means of national civil registration data, nationwide cluster sample surveys of households, and local area studies. Packets of oral rehydration salts are now widely accessible; oral rehydration therapy is used correctly in most episodes of diarrhoea; most mothers continue to feed infants and children during the child's illness; and most physicians prescribe oral rehydration therapy. These changes in the management of acute diarrhoea are associated with a sharp decrease in mortality from diarrhoea, while death from other causes remains nearly constant.
通过国家民事登记数据、全国范围内的家庭整群抽样调查以及局部地区研究，评估了1983年启动的国家腹泻病控制项目对埃及婴幼儿死亡率的影响。现在口服补液盐包广泛可得；口服补液疗法在大多数腹泻病例中得到正确使用；大多数母亲在孩子患病期间继续喂养婴幼儿；并且大多数医生都开出口服补液疗法的处方。急性腹泻管理方面的这些变化与腹泻死亡率的急剧下降相关，而其他原因导致的死亡人数几乎保持不变。
