Infectious disease hospitalizations among American Indian/Alaska native and non-American Indian/Alaska native persons in Alaska, 2010-2011.
The researchers used a merged state database to determine infectious disease (ID) hospitalization rates among American Indian/Alaska native (AI/AN) and non-American Indian/Alaska native persons in Alaska. They concluded that a substantial disparity in ID hospitalization rates exists between AI/AN and non-AI/AN persons, and the most common reason for ID hospitalization among AI/AN persons was lower respiratory tract infection.
