ABSTRACT
Background: for the purpose supporting and contributing
to the reorientation of health decision-makers and developing potential
aspirations of the city of Mosul, especially in view of the challenging
circumstances.
Aim: to measure the prevalence of diarrhea among children
under five years old throughout epidemiolocal and microbiological perspective
Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was
performed at the pediatric teaching hospitals in Mosul city-Republic of Iraq
between the 7th of January and 30th of July, 2019. All under five years old
children who lived in Mosul City during the study period and admitted to the
Mosul pediatric because of diarrhea Hospitals were involved in the present
study. Factors included demographic characteristics, behavioral and
environmental variables, parent’s knowledge and attitudes toward diarrhea were
unified into the questionnaires. Statistical package for social Sciences (SPSS)
version 25.0 was used for data analysis.
Results: No valuable and important correlation (p=
0.172) was identified amongst children of girls who had moderate odds of
diarrhea than children of boys (OR= 0.88). Kids after 6-12 months had higher
levels than older people. Yet the duration of the previous childbirth interval
was not associated. Sons of adolescent mothers (14–19) years old) were more
likely to have had diarrhea compared with sons of mothers aged (20–24) years.
Diarrhea arising during June to August demonstrates substantial correlation
with other times.
Conclusions: Our analysis found the identified prevalence
of diarrhea among children under five years of age in Mosul city is high.
Keywords: Diarrhea, under-five, Mosul, Epidemiological,
