We assessed the impact of PCV on all-cause and pathogen-specific pneumonia hospitalizations in Western Australian (WA) children aged 16 years.
Reliance on hospital discharge diagnosis codes alone will likely underestimate the burden of respiratory viruses
Children with acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) frequently exhibit virus-virus codetection, yet the clinical significance of ARTI remains contentious.
The aim of this study was to use total-population based data on an otherwise healthy population of children to assess the relationship between early...
Australian Aboriginal people have among the highest rates of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) worldwide. This paper investigates clinical diagnosis, risk...
Children with birth defects experience higher rates of hospitalisation for ALRIs before age 2 years than children with no birth defects.
The transmission dynamics of RSV infection among young children are still poorly understood and mathematical modelling can be used to better understand...
Our results lend support to a vaccination strategy which includes family members in order to provide maximum protection for newborn babies.
Children who were born with reduced gestational age, birthweight, and birth length have persistently increased rates of infection-related admissions to hospital until age 18 years
Bronchiolitis hospitalisations are a reasonable proxy for the timing of RSV detections, but may not fully capture the magnitude of RSV epidemics
