Decreases hospital length of stay
Very limitedEvidence strength: very limited. Human evidence with major recorded weaknesses, or non-human, uncontrolled or unverified evidence.Finding“The meta-analysis found that oral zinc supplementation group experienced a lower length of hospital stay than the control group (mean difference, -0.43 days; 95% confidence interval, -0.65 to -0.22; P < 0.0001; heterogeneity, I2 = 20%).”
