Probiotics for Acute Gastroenteritis in Children
A 14-page critical appraisal of the randomized evidence for probiotics in childhood acute gastroenteritis. The review separates strain-specific effects (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Saccharomyces boulardii) from pooled meta-analytic signal, interrogates the methodology of the large negative pragmatic trials, and translates the residual uncertainty into defensible bedside and formulary recommendations.
