PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: The population to be analyzed was all hospitalizations for any reason for children up to 5 years of age in the 4 hospital research centers The number of total hospitalizations for children up to 5 years of age was not known; thus this outcome measure was not evaluated

The percentage of total hospitalizations for children up to 5 years of age in the 4 Brazilian hospital research centers that were for diarrhea. Diarrhea was defined as the passage of 3 or more soft/liquid feces in a 24-hour period.

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: The population analyzed was children up to 5 years of age hospitalized for diarrhea. A total of 190 of the 230 participants had fecal samples analyzed; 27 of these had stool samples positive for rotavirus.

Children up to 5 years of age hospitalized for diarrhea were tested for fecal rotavirus as determined by enzyme immunoassay. Diarrhea was defined as the passage of 3 or more soft/liquid feces in a 24-hour period. For each geographic location, the number of hospitalizations for diarrhea that was caused by rotavirus was reported.
