	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Pancreatic hyperamylasemia during acute gastroenteritis: incidence and clinical relevance
		Acute pacreatitis was defined accordingly to the Atlanta classification [17].
		In the acute gastroenteritis group, hyperamylasemia was recorded in 28 (17%) of the 164 cases with an identified microorganism in stool samples and in 22 (6.4%) of the 343 cases without a microbiological diagnosis (P < 0.01).
		Hyperamylasemia was significantly associated with the severity of gastroenteritis, and the severity of gastroenteritis was significantly associated with the detectability of microorganisms in stool samples [severity score, grade 2 or 3 in 156 (98%) of patients with positive stool samples versus 176 (51.4%) in patients with negative stool samples, P < 0.01, Table I].

		For this reason, parents of infants with diarrhea should promptly seek medical evaluation as soon as the child appears to be in distress (see Box 1 in the original guideline document).
		In addition, studies of mortality caused by acute diarrhea in the United States have identified prematurity, young maternal age, fl race, and rural residence as risk factors for suboptimal outcome; thus, these factors should also be considered when deciding if hospital care is required.
		Because viruses (e.g., rotavirus, astrovirus, enteric adenovirus, norovirus, and sapovirus) are the predominant cause of acute diarrhea in developed countries, the routine use of antimicrobial agents for treating diarrhea wastes resources and might lead to increased antimicrobial resistance.

		Common examples of referred pain are scapular pain due to biliary colic, groin pain due to renal colic, and shoulder pain due to blood or infection irritating the diaphragm.
		Most serious cause is perforation of the GI tract (see Acute Abdomen and Surgical Gastroenterology: Acute Perforation), which produces immediate chemical inflammation followed shortly by infection from intestinal organisms.

	Implementing an Evidence-Based Acute Gastroenteritis Guideline at a Childrenâs Hospital
		The guideline was limited to recommendations for children aged 2 months to 5 years of age who had AGE (defined as diarrheal disease of recent onset, not caused by chronic disease) with or without accompanying symptoms and signs, such as nausea, vomiting, fever, or abdominal pain.
		During the first peak gastroenteritis season following implementation (December 1997 through May 1998), daily rounds on all eligible admissions were made by the chief resident, a head nurse, and a study coordinator.
		This assumption is also consistent with an opinion that many children with gastroenteritis are not dehydrated, do not need oral or IV fluid rehydration, and can be readily sustained by continuation of regular feedings until the gastroenteritis abates (22).
