Trial summary

The impact of rotavirus vaccination on the burden of disease has been well documented. However, the anticipated reduction in hospital pressures has yet to be described.

About this study

The impact of rotavirus vaccination on the burden of disease has been well documented. However, the anticipated reduction in hospital pressures has yet to be described. This study will provide quantitative measures of hospital pressure prior to and post vaccine introduction, provide a template for future hospital pressures studies related to vaccine introduction and provide measures which could be used in an economic evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in bed day occupancy (BDO) rates

    BDO rate is measured as the number of bed days occupied divided by the total number of bed days available in a ward during a fixed time period. BDO rate will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Measured: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  2. Change in turnover (TO) rates

    TO rate is the change in average hospital duration measured as average number of days stay per admission. TO rate will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Measured: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  3. Change in early unplanned readmission (UR) rates

    UR rate (within 7 days after discharge) is measured as the number of readmissions ≤7 days after discharge (x100) divided by the total number of discharges. UR rate will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Measured: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  4. Change in rate of nosocomial infections (NOSO)

    NOSO rate is measured as positive test from a test taken >2 days after admission. NOSO rate will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Measured: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  5. Change in number of rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVAG) tests taken

    RVAG rate will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Measured: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  6. Change in number of positive test results

    Number of positive RVAG test results will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Measured: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

  7. Change in rate of hospitalization in children less that 5 years old

    Change in rate of hospitalization (in children less that 5 years old) will be measured in overall admissions, admissions for infectious disease only, admissions for gastro-enteritis only, admissions for rotavirus induced gastro-enteritis only

    Measured: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Development of a Quality of Care (QoC) score

    To develop the QoC score, a baseline rate/score for each outcome measure out-of-season (June-December) will be developed pre-vaccine introduction (vaccine introduction: 30th July 2013). Each outcome measure in the pre-vaccine period and post-vaccine period in-peak-season (January to May) will be scaled against that score. An overall QoC-Score pre- and post-vaccine in peak season will be calculated by summing scores for each outcome measure

    Measured: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastroenteritis, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in bed day occupancy (BDO) rates (time frame: During the study observation period of 15 years (1st July 2000 - 30th June 2015)). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03271593, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Sep 2017.
