Impact of drinking water, sanitation and handwashing with soap on childhood diarrhoeal disease: updated meta-analysis and meta-regression
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVES: Safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene are protective against diarrhoeal disease; a leading cause of child mortality. The main objective was an updated assessment of the impact of unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) on childhood diarrhoeal disease. METHODS: We undertook a systematic review of articles published between 1970 and February 2016. Study results were combined and analysed using meta-analysis and meta-regression. RESULTS: A total of 135 studies met the inclusion criteria. Several water, sanitation and hygiene interventions were associated with lower risk of diarrhoeal morbidity. Point-of-use filter interventions with safe storage reduced diarrhoea risk by 61% (RR = 0.39; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.48); piped water to premises of higher quality and continuous availability by 75% and 36% (RR = 0.25 (0.09, 0.67) and 0.64 (0.42, 0.98)), respectively compared to a baseline of unimproved drinking water; sanitation interventions by 25% (RR = 0.75 (0.63, 0.88)) with evidence for greater reductions when high sanitation coverage is reached; and interventions promoting handwashing with soap by 30% (RR = 0.70 (0.64, 0.77)) vs. no intervention. Results of the analysis of sanitation and hygiene interventions are sensitive to certain differences in study methods and conditions. Correcting for non-blinding would reduce the associations with diarrhoea to some extent. CONCLUSIONS: Although evidence is limited, results suggest that household connections of water supply and higher levels of community coverage for sanitation appear particularly impactful which is in line with targets of the Sustainable Development Goals.

In the citing paper
“Safe and reliable drinking water, sanitation that separates excreta from human contact, and handwashing with soap at key times, such as after potential faecal contact and before eating or preparing food, have positive effects on health and social and economic wellbeing.1, 2, 3, 4, 5”
In the citing paper
“The findings of many interventions providing different levels of WASH services have been published since the last systematic review of WASH interventions.5”
In the citing paper
“A systematic review on different types of WASH interventions searched the literature up to early 2016 and found only one study reporting provision of higher-quality piped water and two studies of continuous water supply.5”
In the citing paper
“Results of the preceding WASH review5 are largely consistent with the findings in this meta-analysis; however, this review found lower reductions in risk of diarrhoea with drinking water of higher quality supplied on premises.”
In the citing paper
“Third, reviews have been restrictive in terms of included study designs.”
In the citing paper
“a recent systematic review of the effect of handwashing on diarrhoeal disease included ten non-randomised studies”
In the citing paper
“We assessed risk of bias in individual studies using an adapted Newcastle-Ottawa scale applied in previous systematic reviews of the effect of handwashing with soap on diarrhoea.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
