Resumo: | OBJECTIVE: To quantify the influence of the type of child-care on the occurrence of acute diarrhea with special emphasis on the effect of children grouping during care. METHODS: From October 1998 to January 1999 292 children, aged 24 to 36 months, recruited using a previously assembled cohort of newborns, were evaluated. Information on the type of care and occurrence of diarrhea in the previous year was obtained from parents by telephone interview. The X² and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare proportions and quantitative variables, respectively. The risk of diarrhea was estimated through the calculation of incident odds ratios (OR) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), crude and adjusted by unconditional logistic regression. RESULTS: Using as reference category children cared individually at home, the adjusted ORs for diarrhea occurrence were 3.18, 95% CI [1.49, 6.77] for children cared in group at home, 2.28, 95% CI [0.92, 5.67] for children cared in group in day-care homes and 2.54, 95% CI [1.21, 5.33] for children cared in day-care centers. Children that changed from any other type of child-care setting to child-care centers in the year preceding the study showed a risk even higher (OR 7.65, 95% CI [3.25, 18.02]). CONCLUSIONS: Group care increases the risk of acute diarrhea whatsoever the specific setting. |

OBJETIVO: Quantificar a associação entre o tipo de cuidados infantis e a ocorrência de diarréia aguda, sendo dada especial atenção aos diferentes tipos de cuidados infantis prestados a grupos de crianças. MÉTODOS: De outubro de 1998 a janeiro de 1999, foram avaliadas 292 crianças, com idades entre 24 e 36 meses, recrutadas com base numa coorte de recém-nascidos previamente constituída. Foi obtida informação acerca do tipo de cuidados infantis e da ocorrência de diarréia no ano anterior ao estudo por meio de entrevista telefônica aos pais das crianças participantes. Foram utilizadas as provas do X² e de Kruskal-Wallis para comparar proporções e variáveis quantitativas, respectivamente. O risco de diarréia foi estimado pelo cálculo de odds ratios (OR) incidentes e respectivos intervalos de confiança a 95% (IC 95%), brutos e ajustados por regressão logística não condicional. RESULTADOS: Utilizando como classe de referência as crianças cuidadas sozinhas na própria casa, o OR para a ocorrência de diarréia foi 3,18, IC 95% [1,49-6,77] para as crianças cuidadas na própria casa mas em grupo, 2,28, IC 95% [0,92-5,67] para as cuidadas em casas de amas, em grupo, e 2,54, IC 95% [1,21-5,33] para as cuidadas em creches (instituições de prestação de cuidados infantis, em grupo). Nas crianças que mudaram de qualquer outro tipo de cuidados infantis para creches no ano que antecedeu a entrevista o risco de diarréia foi 7,65, IC 95% [3,25-18.02]. CONCLUSÕES: Os cuidados infantis em grupo associaram-se a um maior risco de diarréia aguda, quer fossem prestados na própria casa, em casas de amas ou em creches. Universidade de São Paulo.
