3. Critical appraisal
Judul: Effect of Preventive Supplementation with Zinc and Other
Micronutrients on Non-Malarial Morbidity in Tanzanian Pre-School Children:
A Randomized Trial
Tujuan
Tujuan penelitian adalah menilai efektifitas suplemen zinc dan multipel
mikronutrien pada diare dan penyebab morbiditas diare non malaria pada
anak.
Metodologi
Penelitian dilakukanan pada 612 anak-anak di pedesaan Tasmania yang
berusia 6-60 bulan, dilakukan tehnik random pada anak untuk kelompok anak
yang mendapatkan suplemen zinc (10 mg) saja, multinutrien tanpa zinc, multi
nutrien dengan zinc, atau plasebo. Anak-anak diikuti selama rata-rata 45
minggu. Selama tindak lanjut, dicatat episode morbiditas.
Hasil
Tidak ditemukan bukti bahwa suplemen zinc yang diberikan bersamaan
dengan multinutrien mempengaruhi besarnya efek zinc terhadap angka diare,
penyakit pernapasan, demam, atau penyakit lainnya (sakit dengan gejala yang
meliputi kulit, telinga, mata dan abses, tetapi tidak termasuk trauma atau luka
bakar). Suplemen zinc mengurangi tingkat bahaya diare sebesar 24% (4%
-40%). Sebaliknya, multinutrien tampaknya meningkatkan angka ini (HR:95%
CI: 1,19; 0,94-1,50), terutama pada anak dengan infeksi Giardia asimtomatik
pada awal (2,03; 1,24-3,32). Zinc juga dilindungi episode demam tanpa
lokalisasi tanda-tanda (0,75; 0,57-0,96), tetapi tidak ditemukan bukti bahwa
hal itu mengurangi jumlah keseluruhan kunjungan klinik.

Outcome(s) : reducing diarrhea
1a. R- Was the assignment of patients to treatments randomised?

person (e.g, the hospital pharmacy) to
“police” the randomization.
3. M - Were measures objective or were the patients and clinicians kept “blind” to
which treatment was being received?
What is best? Where do I find the information?
It is ideal if the study is ‘double-blinded’ – First, look in the Methods section to see if
that is, both patients and investigators are there is some mention of masking of
unaware of treatment allocation. If the treatments, eg., placebos with the same
outcome is objective (eg., death) then appearance or sham therapy. Second, the
blinding is less critical. If the outcome is Methods section should describe how the
subjective (eg., symptoms or function) then outcome was assessed and whether the
blinding of the outcome assessor is critical. assessor/s were aware of the patients'
treatment.

alternative way to calculate the RRR is the reduction in the rate of the outcome in the

4. Berdasarkan critical appraisal, maka artikel peneltian ini adalah artikel yang
baik. Suplement zinc efektif menurunkan durasi episode diare dibandingkan
dengan tidak mendapatkan suplement zinc. Pada kasus anak yang mengalami
diare suplemet zinc dapat diberikan sebagai pengobatan untuk menurunkan
durasi dan episode dari diare.
