Brief Summary

Nosocomial diarrhea is a common problem.There are multiple ethiologies of nosocomial diarrhea in which can be divided into inflammatory and non inflammatory diarrhea. Fecal calprotectin is a good marker to identify inflammatory diarrhea in outpatient setting; for example, differentiating inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Its performance in inpatient setting has not been well established. This study aim to determine the efficacy of fecal calprotectin in distinguishing inflammatory nosocomial diarrhea from non-inflammatory nosocomial diarrhea.

Conditions

Diarrhea; Calprotectin

Keywords

Nosocomial diarrhea; Fecal calprotectin

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Fecal calprotectin levels

  Compare fecal calprotectin levels in patients with inflammatory nosocomial diarrhea and non-inflammatory nosocomial diarrhea

  1 day

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Prognosis of hospitalized patients with nosocomial diarrhea.

  30 days

Study Arms (1)

Nosocomial diarrhea

Patients who are hospitalized and develop diarrhea after 72 hours of hospitalization.

Diagnostic Test: Fecal calprotectin

Interventions

Fecal calprotectin DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Fecal calprotectin is a protein found in human neutrophils, and it is released during active periods of inflammation of intestine. The sensitivity and specificity has been reported at 93% and 96%, respectively in differentiating inflammatory bowel disease from irritable bowel syndrome in outpatient setting.

Nosocomial diarrhea
