Rotavirus is the leading cause of hospitalization due to acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in infants and toddlers. However, rotavirus vaccination has been associated with a decline in hospitalization rates due to rotavirus AGE. A descriptive retrospective study was conducted to analyze the impact of rotavirus vaccination on the rate of hospitalizations due to AGE among children ≤2 years old in 2 areas of the province of Almería, Spain. After eight years of rotavirus vaccination, rates of hospitalizations due to rotavirus AGE are diminished. This decline is closely related to vaccine coverage in the studied areas.
轮状病毒是婴幼儿因急性胃肠炎(AGE)住院的主要原因。然而,轮状病毒疫苗接种与因轮状病毒AGE导致的住院率下降有关。开展了一项描述性回顾性研究,以分析轮状病毒疫苗接种对西班牙阿尔梅里亚省两个地区2岁及以下儿童因AGE住院率的影响。经过八年的轮状病毒疫苗接种,因轮状病毒AGE导致的住院率有所下降。这种下降与研究地区的疫苗接种覆盖率密切相关。
