Viral pneumonia is a common cause of hospital admission among Danish children. However, it remains unknown how many admissions among Danish children may be ascribed to viral pneumonia overall.
Based on data drawn from the National Patient Register and the Danish Microbiology Database, hospital admissions for viral pneumonia and asthma-like disease were investigated among Danish children and adolescents less than 18 years. Testing of admitted patients for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza virus was also considered.
A total of 5,218 admissions with a diagnosis of viral pneumonia were identified among Danish children and adolescents less than 18 years from 2012 to 2016. During the same period, 63,731 tests were conducted during hospital admission for RSV or influenza virus, which produced 9,933 positive tests for RSV and 3,287 for influenza. In addition, 43,213 admissions were due to asthma-like disease.
The present study documented overlapping age and seasonal epidemiological patterns of different measures of viral pneumonia among Danish children and presented how the collection of data from different sources (diagnoses and diagnostic tests) yielded a more complete picture of the burden of hospital contacts among Danish children and adolescents caused by viral pneumonia. Viral pneumonia is a very common cause of hospital admission among Danish children and adolescents.

病毒性肺炎是丹麦儿童住院的常见病因。然而,目前尚不清楚丹麦儿童的住院病例中有多少可归因于病毒性肺炎。
本研究基于来自丹麦国家患者登记处和丹麦微生物数据库的数据,对 2012 年至 2016 年期间小于 18 岁的丹麦儿童和青少年的病毒性肺炎和哮喘样疾病的住院情况进行了调查。还考虑了对住院患者进行呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)和流感病毒检测的情况。
2012 年至 2016 年期间,共确定了 5218 例小于 18 岁的丹麦儿童和青少年的病毒性肺炎住院病例。同期,共进行了 63731 次 RSV 或流感病毒的住院检测,其中 RSV 阳性检测 9933 次,流感阳性检测 3287 次。此外,还有 43213 例哮喘样疾病的住院病例。
本研究记录了丹麦儿童中不同病毒性肺炎检测指标的重叠年龄和季节性流行模式,并展示了如何通过从不同来源(诊断和诊断检测)收集数据,更全面地了解病毒性肺炎导致丹麦儿童和青少年住院的负担。病毒性肺炎是丹麦儿童和青少年住院的常见病因。
