Acute gastroenteritis hospitalizations among US children following implementation of the rotavirus vaccine.
Because laboratory testing and coding for rotavirus are not routinely performed for patients with diarrhea, the researchers examined both all-cause acute gastroenteritis and rotavirus-coded hospitalizations among children younger than 5 years from 2000 through 2012. They found that, in 2012, when vaccine coverage was highest, the greatest reductions were observed for all-cause acute gastroenteritis (55 percent) and rotavirus-coded (94 percent) hospitalizations.
