Studies published between 1986 and 1999 indicated that rotavirus causes approximately 22% (range 17%-28%) of childhood diarrhea hospitalizations. From 2000 to 2004, this proportion increased to 39% (range 29%-45%). Application of this proportion to the recent World Health Organization estimates of diarrhea-related childhood deaths gave an estimated 611,000 (range 454,000-705,000) rotavirus-related deaths.
1986年至1999年间发表的研究表明,轮状病毒导致约22%(范围为17%-28%)的儿童腹泻住院病例。2000年至2004年,这一比例增至39%(范围为29%-45%)。将这一比例应用于世界卫生组织最近对与腹泻相关的儿童死亡人数的估计,得出轮状病毒相关死亡人数估计为61.1万(范围为45.4万-70.5万)。
