EE176 Hospitalization Trends for All Intestinal Infectious Diseases Since Introduction of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis (RVGE) Vaccine in Ireland

Research output: Contribution to journalMeeting abstractpeer-review

Abstract

Since the introduction of the Rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE) vaccine on the Irish national immunisation programme in 2016 almost 2,000 RVGE hospitalisations have been avoided with a direct economic impact of €3.7 million between December 2016 and November 2020 (Murphy et al 2023). National inpatient data shows prior to this RVGE accounted for 16% of all intestinal infectious diseases amongst children under 5. However, such data can be subject to misclassification or miscoding leaning towards underreporting. Therefore this paper examines hospitalisation trends for all intestinal infectious diseases (ICD-10-AM A00-A09) and the associated economic impact since the introduction of the RVGE vaccine amongst children under 5 in Ireland.
