A longitudinal study to ascertain the most common therapeutic approach to diarrheal disease by general practitioners and pediatricians was carried out in Western Sicily. Data obtained showed that of 902 home-managed cases of diarrhea observed by 58 physicians during one year, 65.3% were treated with antibiotics, 8.0% with antimotility agents and 26.7% were not treated with any pharmacological agent (rehydration or diet). Although oral rehydration therapy was widely known by physicians in Western Sicily, only a few of them were willing to use it routinely as the principal and exclusive treatment.
在西西里岛西部开展了一项纵向研究，以确定全科医生和儿科医生治疗腹泻病最常用的方法。所获数据显示，58名医生在一年中观察的902例在家治疗的腹泻病例中，65.3%使用了抗生素治疗，8.0%使用了抗动力药物，26.7%未使用任何药物（补液或饮食）治疗。尽管口服补液疗法在西西里岛西部的医生中广为人知，但只有少数医生愿意将其作为主要和唯一的治疗方法常规使用。
