| الوصف: | Objective This study aimed to assess the coutilisation of oral rehydration solution (ORS) and zinc for treating diarrhoea and its associated factors among under-5 children in East Africa.Design Cross-sectional study design. Multilevel Poisson regression analysis with robust variance was fitted to identify predictors of zinc and ORS coutilisation. An adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) with a 95% CI was reported to declare the statistical significance.Setting Twelve East African countries.Participants 16 850 under-5 children who had diarrhoea were included in the study.Result In East African nations, the coutilisation of ORS and zinc for the treatment of diarrhoea in children under 5 was 53.27% with a 95% CI (52.54% to 54.01%). Children of mothers with primary education (aPR 1.15, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.20), secondary education (aPR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.14), higer education (aPR 1.19, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.29), those from maternal age category of 20–24 (aPR 1.14, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.21), age category of 25–29 (aPR 1.13, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.21), age category of 30–34 (aPR 1.09, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.16), those from wealthy households (aPR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.09) and those who have a media exposure (aPR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.08) were more likely to receive combination.Conclusion Only half of the under-5 children with diarrhoea in East Africa were treated with a combination of ORS and zinc. To increase the use of the suggested combination therapy of ORS with zinc, it is important to empower women through education and prevent teen pregnancy. |
