摘要

Objective:To determine the efficacy of Ibuprofen in treating febrile diarrheas as compared to Acetaminophen in terms of reduction of the number of loose stools and decrease in the occurrence of dehydration regardless of the etiology of febrile diarrhea.Hypothesis:Ibuprofen, as compared to Acetaminophen in the treatment of febrile gastroenteritis, will be more efficacious in reducing the number of stools and preventing dehydration.Hypothesis was based on the fact that ibuprofen inhibits prostaglandins.MethodsChildren between the ages of 4 months and 6 years who presented with febrile diarrhea and met the criteria were enrolled in the study. All enrollees were randomly divided into two groups A (Acetaminophen) and B (Ibuprofen) and treated for 24 hours. They received a double-blinded suspension of either Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen during the study period. The parents were given prescriptions for Pedialyte for one day. The patients were recalled after 24 hours to the emergency room. The number of loose stools since last visit and status of hydration was reassessed. In addition, patients were examined and assessed for any possible side effects of the medications. Decrease in number of stools 24 hours later following the initial visit, was taken as the primary outcome measure for the study.ResultsA total of 84 patients were enrolled into the study. Both drug categories had 42 (50%) enrollees. Two patients were lost to follow up in each group. The average number of stools on the first visit (day 1) in group A (Acetaminophen) was 5.12 and the average number of stools in group B (ibuprofen) was 5.25. Twenty-four hours later, the average number of stools, in group A was 3.45 (1-5) and the average number of stool in group B, was 1.9 (0-4). The two-tailed p-value was< 0.0001 with a confidence interval at 95% (1.44-2.6).Conclusions:This prospective randomized, double blind clinical trial showed a significant decrease in the number of stools between Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen in the treatment of febrile diarrheas as hypothesized. Introduction Diarrheas are caused by various infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria and fungi, or nutritional or psychological étiologies1-11.The acute febrile diarrheal illnesses are usually caused by viruses and or toxin producing bacteria1, 2. The consequences of diarrhea are fluid and electrolyte losses resulting in various degrees of dehydration 5, 6; Mild stages of dehydration are usually managed by giving plenty of liquids by mouth for twenty four hours 6 and later advancing to BRAT (Banana, rice, apple sauce and toast of bread) diet (Duro Deborah and Dugaan Christoper, 2007). Patients with moderate to severe dehydration are usually admitted into the hospital for intravenous hydration. Prostaglandins (PG) and cyclic AMP stimulate intestinal secretions12. PGE and PGF facilitate movements of water and electrolytes into the intestinal lumen. Diarrheal diseases are associated with increased production of PGE and PGF13. Enteric pathogens increase secretion of fluid by increased stimulation of prostaglandin synthesis14. Aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as indomethacin and ibuprofen cause inhibition of adenylate cyclase, which decreases cyclic AMP resulting in reduction of secretions and increase in absorption of fluids13,15. We hypothesized that Ibuprofen, when compared to acetaminophen in the treatment of febrile diarrhea, will be more efficacious in reducing the number of loose stools and preventing or reducing dehydration.This prospective randomized double blind study was conducted to determine the efficacy of Ibuprofen in patients with febrile diarrheas as compared to Acetaminophen as evidenced by the decrease in the number of loose stools as the criterion. Materials and Methods Study DesignThis is a prospective randomized double blind clinical study, approved by the NYMC Institution Review Board and also by the NYCHHC Research committee.
