BACKGROUND Several studies employing the effectiveness of solar disinfection water treatment method for reducing diarrhea have reported heterogeneous outcomes, necessitating a systematic review to provide an exhaustive summary of current evidence. Thus, the objective of this review is to pool out the available evidence on the effectiveness of solar disinfection water treatment method for reducing childhood diarrhea. METHODS Searches will be conducted in PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library databases, and reference of other studies published through in December 2019. Studies that compare the diarrhea incidence among the intervention group who were exposed to solar disinfection water treatment and the control group who were not exposed to such water treatment were included. The primary outcome of the study is the change in observed diarrhea incidence risk from baseline to post-intervention. Randomized controlled trial study designs will be included. Selected studies will be critically appraised by two independent reviewers. Extracted data will include details about the interventions, populations, study methods, and outcomes of significance to the review question and objectives. Effect sizes will be expressed as risk ratio, and their 95% confidence intervals will be calculated for analysis. DISCUSSION This review and meta-analysis will systematically explore and integrate the evidence available on the effectiveness of solar disinfection water treatment method for reducing diarrhea. In this review, information about the potential impact of solar disinfection water treatment to inactivate pathogenic microbes for reducing diarrhea will be gathered and summarized. The findings from this study will provide directions for future research and public health professionals with an understanding of the importance of solar disinfection water treatment and point to directions for applicability of the interventions in the community.

日光消毒水处理方法减少儿童腹泻的有效性：系统评价和荟萃分析方案。


背景技术采用日光消毒水处理方法来减少腹泻的有效性的几项研究报告了不同的结果，因此需要进行系统评价以提供对当前证据的详尽总结。因此，本次综述的目的是汇集有关日光消毒水处理方法对减少儿童腹泻的有效性的现有证据。方法 将在 PubMed/Medline、Scopus、Google Scholar、Cochrane 图书馆数据库以及 2019 年 12 月发表的其他研究参考文献中进行检索。研究比较了接受日光消毒水处理的干预组和接受过日光消毒水处理的干预组的腹泻发生率。对照组包括未接受此类水处理的人。该研究的主要结果是观察到的腹泻发病风险从基线到干预后的变化。将包括随机对照试验研究设计。选定的研究将由两名独立评审员进行严格评估。提取的数据将包括有关干预措施、人群、研究方法以及对审查问题和目标具有重要意义的结果的详细信息。效应大小将表示为风险比，并计算其 95% 置信区间进行分析。讨论 本综述和荟萃分析将系统地探索和整合有关日光消毒水处理方法减少腹泻有效性的现有证据。在这篇综述中，将收集和总结有关太阳能消毒水处理灭活病原微生物以减少腹泻的潜在影响的信息。 这项研究的结果将为未来的研究和公共卫生专业人员提供方向，让他们了解太阳能消毒水处理的重要性，并为社区干预措施的适用性指明方向。
