Rotavirus vaccination was introduced into the Australian National Immunisation Program in mid-2007. We aimed to assess the impact of the rotavirus vaccination program on the burden of hospitalizations associated with all-cause acute gastroenteritis (including rotavirus gastroenteritis and non-rotavirus gastroenteritis) in the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal population in Western Australia.

Indigenous involvement

Indigenous involvement notes

Aboriginal status of the individual was identified using the derived Aboriginal status provided by Western Australian Data linkage branch. Estimates were calculated separately for rotavirus and non-rotavirus gastroenteritis hospitalizations for the different age groups among both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal individuals. Exact 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and IRRs were calculated using EpiBasic (version 4; University of Aarhus, Nordre Ringgade, Denmark).
