The role and success of mothers and village practitioners in treating diarrhoeal episodes have been evaluated in Bangladesh in 1979-1980 in 11 villages with 1801 children under age 5. Diarrhoeal episodes were recorded by weekly house-to-house visits. Among the study children, 1079 diarrhoeal episodes occurred during one year's observation. The attack rate was 60 per 100 children per year. Mothers treated more total episodes and more watery diarrhoea incidences, while practitioners attended more patients with dysentery. The ORS use pattern was significantly higher in watery diarrhoea in children under age 1. Measures are suggested to improve health care delivery to Bangladeshi children with diarrhoea.
1979年至1980年期间，在孟加拉国的11个村庄对1801名5岁以下儿童进行了研究，评估了母亲和乡村医生在治疗腹泻病例方面的作用和成效。通过每周逐户走访记录腹泻病例。在研究儿童中，一年观察期内共发生1079例腹泻病例。发病率为每年每100名儿童60例。母亲治疗的腹泻病例总数和水样腹泻病例更多，而医生诊治的痢疾患者更多。1岁以下儿童水样腹泻中口服补液盐（ORS）的使用模式显著更高。建议采取措施改善为孟加拉国腹泻儿童提供的医疗服务。
