Impact of Rotavirus Vaccination on Hospitalisations for Rotavirus Gastroenteritis in Children Aged...
Rotavirus GastroenteritisGastroenteritisThis study aims to monitor the incidence rates and duration of hospitalisations for rotavirus gastroenteritis (RV GE) and all cause GE, compared to bronchiolitis from 1998 to 2009, in children < 5 years of age after the introduction of Rotarix in 2006 by year, both inside and outside rotavirus season in Australia. It further aims to compare the two dose regimen of Rotarix with the three dose regimen of RotaTeq from 2007 to 2009.
Estimation of the Burden of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis (RV GE) in Children Less Than 5 Years in Greece...
Rotavirus GastroenteritisThe purpose of this study is to measure the disease burden from RV GE among children less than 5 years of age using hospital surveillance data. In addition, data collected will determine the seasonal distribution, disease severity, age distribution of RV GE. From an economic standpoint, the cost and impact of RV will also be assessed.
Surveillance Study of Acute Gastroenteritis in Hospitalized Children
Acute GastroenteritisDiarrhea1 moreAcute gastroenteritis is a common cause of hospital admission and health office visits and have a huge burden on the economy of developing countries. The investigators proposed this observational prospective study during summer period in a community and tertiary care hospital in a rural area of Lebanon to investigate the etiologies and age distribution of admitted cases to general pediatric floor from the age of 1 month up to the age of 14 years.
A Retrospective Survey of the Burden of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis (RV GE) and Nosocomial RV GE in...
Nosocomial Rotavirus GastroenteritisRotavirus GastroenteritisThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the epidemiology and baseline disease burden of rotavirus gastroenteritis in children < 6 years of age, in Japan.
A Two-Arm, Multi-Centre Clinical Evaluation of the xTAG Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel
InfectiousColitis1 moreThe xTAG Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (xTAG GPP) is a PCR-based assay to detect the presence or absence of gastrointestinal (GI) pathogens from human stool specimens. The objective of this study is to establish diagnostic accuracy of the xTAG GPP.

GastroenteritisThis study aims at collecting data from secondary sources to obtain baseline incidence and monitor trends over time (1990 - 2010) of reported gastroenteritis cases, gastroenteritis related hospital discharges and gastroenteritis related deaths in children < 5 years of age in Panama before and after implementation of Rotarix™ universal mass vaccination.
Epidemiological, Observational and Post Marketing Study of Rotarix™ in Children With Severe Gastroenteritis...
InfectionsRotavirusThe main aim of this study is to investigate cases of rotavirus gastroenteritis in Belgian children with opportunity to receive Rotarix™ to monitor the potential occurrence of genetic drifts (point mutations) in the vaccine strain and the occurrence of genetic shifts (re-assortments) between vaccine and naturally circulating wild-type strains in Belgium population after the introduction of Rotarix™. The study will also detect if there is any alteration in rotavirus pathogenicity conferred by re-assortment and if the mutated vaccine strain is still efficacious in preventing rotavirus gastroenteritis.
