| Figure 2: Comparisons of efficacy between active treatment and placebo arms on
study days 0, 1 and 2. For gelatine tannate, the daily number of watery stools and
the severity of abdominal pain on study-day 2 were significantly lower compared to
study day 0. At study day 2, the difference in efficacy between gelatine tannate and
placebo was also significant, with the group treated with gelatine tannate showing
better results for both the daily number of watery stools (p <0.01, Mann-Whitney
test) and severity of abdominal pain (p <0.01, Student t-test). *p <0.01 significantly
different from placebo-treated patients |
