Study summary

The impact of rotavirus vaccination on the burden of disease has been well documented. However, the anticipated reduction in hospital pressures has yet to be described. This study will provide quantitative measures of hospital pressure prior to and post vaccine introduction, provide a template for future hospital pressures studies related to vaccine introduction and provide measures which could be used in an economic evaluation.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in bed day occupancy (BDO) rates

    BDO rate is measured as the number of bed days occupied divided by the total number of bed days available in a ward during a fixed time period. BDO rate will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Time frame: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  2. Change in turnover (TO) rates

    TO rate is the change in average hospital duration measured as average number of days stay per admission. TO rate will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Time frame: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  3. Change in early unplanned readmission (UR) rates

    UR rate (within 7 days after discharge) is measured as the number of readmissions ≤7 days after discharge (x100) divided by the total number of discharges. UR rate will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Time frame: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  4. Change in rate of nosocomial infections (NOSO)

    NOSO rate is measured as positive test from a test taken \>2 days after admission. NOSO rate will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Time frame: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  5. Change in number of rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVAG) tests taken

    RVAG rate will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Time frame: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  6. Change in number of positive test results

    Number of positive RVAG test results will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Time frame: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  7. Change in rate of hospitalization in children less that 5 years old

    Change in rate of hospitalization (in children less that 5 years old) will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Time frame: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Development of a Quality of Care (QoC) score

    To develop the QoC score, a baseline rate/score for each outcome measure out-of-season (June-December) will be developed pre-vaccine introduction (vaccine introduction: 30th July 2013). Each outcome measure in the pre-vaccine period and post-vaccine period in-peak-season (January to May) will be scaled against that score. An overall QoC-Score pre- and post-vaccine in peak season will be calculated by summing scores for each outcome measure

    Time frame: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 21, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
