Our findings illustrated that probiotics reduce odds [odds ratio (OR)\u202f=\u202f0.51; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.27, 0.94] and risk of diarrhea incidence [relative risk (RR)\u202f=\u202f0.54; 95% CI: 0.40, 0.71] compared to control group, meaningfully. Also, it is successful in reducing diarrhea duration [weighted mean difference (WMD)\u202f=\u202f\u22121.85; 95% CI: \u22122.83, \u22120.86] and [standardized mean difference (SMD)\u202f=\u202f\u22120.94; 95% CI: \u22121.32, \u22120.56] significantly. Moreover, probiotics supplementation resulted in decreased stool frequency (WMD\u202f=\u202f\u22120.21; 95% CI: \u22120.37, \u22120.04). Probiotics prevent diarrhea by about 36% (RR\u202f=\u202f0.64; 95% CI: 0.63, 0.65(, and significantly improved diarrhea treatment (SMD\u202f=\u202f\u22120.49; 95% CI: \u22120.59, \u22120.38). Also, the analyses revealed that probiotics significantly impact on constipation (OR\u202f=\u202f1.17, 95% CI: 1.01\u20131.37).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This meta-analysis supports the potential role of probiotics in relation to diarrhea and constipation outcome in children.
