What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Risk of Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) confirmed rotavirus severe gastroenteritis in children fully vaccinated with Rotarix™, compared to risk of ELISA confirmed rotavirus severe gastroenteritis in unvaccinated children

    Measured: Average time frame: 12-24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Risk of ELISA confirmed rotavirus severe gastroenteritis in children vaccinated with at least one dose of Rotarix™, compared to risk of ELISA confirmed rotavirus severe gastroenteritis in unvaccinated children

    Measured: Average time frame: 12-24 months

  2. Occurrence of severe gastroenteritis among children admitted to study clinics/hospitals for severe gastroenteritis

    Measured: Average time frame: 12-24 months

  3. Occurrence of rotavirus serotypes among children

    Measured: Average time frame: 36 months
