To describe the injuries due to fireworks use in Colombia during the period 2008–2013 and to identify factors associated with hospitalization and death due to this cause.A descriptive study from surveillance data was carried out. Incidence rates and relative risks were calculated. The incidence rate trend was modeled with a joint point regression model. Multivariate logistical models were implemented...
The aim of this study was to estimate the association between rotavirus vaccine (RV) introduction and reduction of all-cause diarrhea death rates among children in five Latin American countries that introduced RV in 2006.Diarrhea mortality data was gathered from 2002 until 2009 from the Pan American Health Organization Mortality Database for five “vaccine adopter” countries (Brazil, El Salvador, Mexico,...
To assess the effectiveness of the monovalent rotavirus vaccine (RV1) to prevent rotavirus diarrhea admissions to emergency departments (ED) in Colombia.A multicenter case-control study was carried out in six Colombian cities from 2011 to January, 2013. Cases were laboratory confirmed rotavirus diarrhea patients admitted to ED of selected health centers. Controls were patients with non-rotavirus diarrhea...
Strain monitoring for emergence of novel strains after the introduction of rotavirus vaccine is an integral component of routine rotavirus immunization programs. Using a laboratory based strain surveillance system between 2008 and 2012, a wide variation in strain pattern in Colombia was founded both before and after the introduction of a monovalent rotavirus vaccine in 2009. G2P[4], a strain fully...
