Diarrhoea is one of the commonest causes for hospital admission. It can impact quality of life significantly, especially if it is chronic, and is of particular concern in the elderly regardless of the duration.
It is important to recognise whether or not inpatient management is required. Equally, it is extremely important to recognise if outpatient follow-up is needed and, in these cases, the investigation process should start immediately to avoid delays in treatment.
