Trends in rate of seizure-associated hospitalizations among children <5 years old before and after rotavirus vaccine introduction in the United Sates, 2000-2013.
Since rotavirus vaccine introduction, hospitalizations for treatment of acute gastroenteritis have decreased. Researchers assessed whether there has been an associated decrease in seizure-associated hospitalizations. Their analysis provides evidence for a decrease in seizure hospitalizations following rotavirus vaccine introduction in the United States, with the greatest impact in age groups with a high rotavirus-associated disease burden and during rotavirus infection season.

The marginal costs of adverse drug events associated with exposures to anticoagulants and hypoglycemic agents during hospitalization.
The researchers estimated the marginal cost of care associated with anticoagulants and hypoglycemic agents for adults in 5 patient groups during their hospital stay and the total annual ADE costs for all patients exposed to these drugs during their stay. The 2013 hospital cost estimates for adverse drug events associated with anticoagulants and hypoglycemic agents were >$2.5 billion for each drug class.

Intussusception rates before and after the introduction of rotavirus vaccine.
The researchers examined trends in intussusception hospitalizations before (2000-2005) and after (2007-2013) rotavirus vaccine introduction to assess whether this observed temporal risk translates into more hospitalized cases at the population level. They concluded that, given the magnitude of declines in rotavirus disease compared with this small increase in intussusception, the benefits of rotavirus vaccination outweigh the increase risk of intussusception.
