Objective:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Erxiekang Emplastra as adjunctive therapy for acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children aged 1 to 14 years.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Exposed group had significantly shorter diarrhea duration (3.83 vs. 4.92 days, p < 0.01).
    • Exposed group had lower 3-day MVS (2.90 vs. 4.51, p < 0.01).
    • Adjunctive Erxiekang Emplastra was independently associated with reduced diarrhea duration (β = –0.38, p < 0.01) and lower 3-day MVS (β = –0.44, p < 0.01).
    • Only 1.44% of patients developed mild transient local reactions, with no severe adverse events reported.
