Association between Severe Dehydration in Rotavirus Diarrhea and Exclusive Breastfeeding among Infants at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia

Abstract: Background. Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe acute diarrhea in children. Infants who are exclusively breastfed develop fewer infections and have less severe illnesses. This study aimed to determine association between severe dehydration in rotavirus diarrhea and exclusive breastfeeding. Methods. This is a cross-sectional study in infants ≤ 6 months old with acute diarrhea in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia. Results. From 134 infants ≤ 6 months old with acute diarrhea enrolled from Apri… Show more

“…In 2015, a study conducted by Prasetyo et al showed that 12.6% of patients with gastroenteritis develop severe dehydration, and appropriate treatment significantly reduces mortality. In our study only 5 patients (2.1%) had severe dehydration and all of these patients improved with appropriate treatment (13). In our study, severe dehydration was detected very rarely.…”

“…40 However, several studies now confirm that although breastfeeding is important in prevention, it does not provide protection against severe dehydration caused by RVGE. [41][42][43] A previous study conducted in Italy reported that parental distress due to RVGE-related hospitalization (of which dehydration is known to be the main driver) was significant (93.6% reported high or medium stress). The highest scores for stress were attributed to child dehydration among others.…”

“…28 Prasetyo et al showed that exclusive breast feeding was not associated with severe dehydration in rotavirus diarrhea. 27 Studies conducted in India and in Brazil among 0e3 years old children showed that breast feeding did not protect children from rotavirus diarrhea. 31,32 Thus, the findings of the present meta-analysis were in line with those of previous studies and suggested that there might be no direct correlation between rotavirus diarrhea and breast feeding.…”
