Description

Definition
For surviving children under age 5 who had diarrhea in the past 2 weeks, DIAGIVZINC (H15E) indicates whether the child was given zinc to treat this illness.

The World Health Organization reports here [URL omitted from DDI.] that "Zinc supplementation has been found to reduce the duration and severity of diarrheal episodes and the likelihood of subsequent infections for 2-3 months."
