ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is investigating two main things in infants who are hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis, which is a condition that causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines, often leading to diarrhea and vomiting. The researchers want to understand how this condition affects the growth of infants and how common anemia (a condition where you don't have enough healthy red blood cells) is among these infants.
To participate in this study, infants need to be between 1 month and 2 years old and have been diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. However, infants younger than 1 month, older than 2 years, or those with other specific health issues will not be eligible. If your child qualifies and you choose to participate, they will undergo assessments to measure their growth and check for anemia during their hospital stay. This study aims to provide valuable information that could help improve care for infants with this illness in the future.
