Implication

Cross-sectional analysis reveals ORS treatment disparities for diarrhea among children in India, suggesting regional interventions are needed.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of ORS treatment nationally increased from 50.6% in 2016 to 60.7% in 2021 among children with diarrhea.
  • In 2016, 9.2% of children reported diarrhea, and this figure dropped to 7.3% in 2021, showing a slight decrease in diarrhea prevalence.
  • This analysis utilizes data from India's National Family Health Survey, covering 720 districts and over 470,000 children aged under 5 years.
  • Promoting ORS treatment must consider geographic disparities, as some districts saw a rise in diarrhea cases while ORS treatment declined.
