on the basis for the development of
regional guidelines on probiotic use.
In the workshops, one focused on
adult gastroenterology and one on pe-diatric
gastroenterology, each panelist
was invited to deliver a presentation
addressing country specific issues re-lating
to the epidemiology of diarrheal
disease, trends in acute infectious
diarrhea including use of antibiotics
and other medications, and traveler’s
diarrhea, as well as the local use of
probiotics and the availability of local
guidelines on probiotics.
Discussions:
Panelists agreed that, while dispari-ties
which were largely socioeconomic
existed between countries, it was
possible to develop guidelines for pro-biotic
use in gastroenterology for the
Asia-Pacific region. However, it was
critical that such guidelines take into
consideration local or national varia-tions
in terms of the demographics of
gastrointestinal diseases and access to
and availability of various therapeutic
options in the Asia-Pacific region.
Discussions highlighted the need
to address the quality, safety, strain
specificity, and efficacy of probiotics
available in the Asia-Pacific region.
Regional guidelines must be aware of
the most current science and clini-cal
evidence as well as of the quality
control of locally available products.
Conclusions:
This meeting provided a crucial op-portunity
to explore how scientific ad-vances
in the field of probiotics could
be translated into effective regional
interventions such as the elaboration
of regional guidelines for the use of
probiotics in gastroenterology.
