Nitazoxanide in Acute Rotavirus Diarrhea: A Randomized Control Trial from a Developing Country

Table 2

Primary and secondary outcome measures.

	Nitazoxanide group	Control group	Difference [95% CI]
Median (IQR) hours of diarrhea	54 (45–65)	80 (65–89)	–26 [–13.2 to –38.8]
Median (IQR) hours of hospitalization	68 (57–75)	90 (77–93)	–22 [–12.98 to –31.02]
Median (IQR) duration of fever (hours)	43 (35–48)	47 (42–52)	–4 [–10.89 to 2.89]
Median (IQR) duration of vomiting (hours)	38 (33–41)	41 (35–46)	–3 [–8.84 to 2.84]
Proportion (%) of children requiring parenteral rehydration	1 (4)	2 (8)	0.48 [0.04 to 5.65]

The difference between the two medians and calculation of 95% CI (confidence interval) has been done by the method proposed by Bonett and Price [14].
