No full textIn anticipation of licensure and introduction of rotavirus vaccine into the western market, we used modeling of national hospital registry data to determine the incidence and direct medical costs of annual rotavirus-associated admissions over >11 years in Denmark. Diarrhea-associated hospitalizations coded as nonspecified viral or presumed infectious have demonstrated a marked winter peak similar to that of rotavirus-associated hospitalizations, which suggests that the registered rotavirus-coded admissions are grossly underestimated. We therefore obtained more realistic estimates by 2 different models, which indicated 2.4 and 2.5 (for children <5 years of age) and 4.9 and 5.3 (for children <2 years of age) rotavirus-associated admissions per 1,000 children per year, respectively. These admissions amount to associated direct medical costs of US $1.7-1.8 million per year. Using 2 simple models to analyze readily available hospital discharge data resulted in more consistent and reliable estimates
Incidence and Cost of Rotavirus Hospitalizations in Denmark
No full textIn anticipation of licensure and introduction of rotavirus vaccine into the western market, we used modeling of national hospital registry data to determine the incidence and direct medical costs of annual rotavirus-associated admissions over <11 years in Denmark. Diarrhea-associated hospitalizations coded as nonspecified viral or presumed infectious have demonstrated a marked winter peak similar to that of rotavirus-associated hospitalizations, which suggests that the registered rotavirus-coded admissions are grossly underestimated. We therefore obtained more realistic estimates by 2 different models, which indicated ≈2.4 and ≈2.5 (for children <5 years of age) and ≈4.9 and ≈5.3 (for children <2 years of age) rotavirus-associated admissions per 1,000 children per year, respectively. These admissions amount to associated direct medical costs of US $1.7–1.8 million per year. Using 2 simple models to analyze readily available hospital discharge data resulted in more consistent and reliable estimates
Same-sex marriage, autoimmune thyroid gland dysfunction and other autoimmune diseases in Denmark 1989-2008
No full textAutoimmune diseases have been little studied in gay men and lesbians. We followed 4.4 million Danes, including 9,615 same-sex married (SSM) persons, for 47 autoimmune diseases in the National Patient Registry between 1989 and 2008. Poisson regression analyses provided first hospitalization rate ratios (RRs) comparing rates between SSM individuals and persons in other marital status categories. SSM individuals experienced no unusual overall risk of autoimmune diseases. However, the risk of autoimmune thyroid dysfunction was increased, notably Hashimoto's thyroiditis (womenSSM, RR = 2.92; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.74-4.55) and Graves' disease (menSSM, RR = 1.88; 95 % CI 1.08-3.01). There was also an excess of primary biliary cirrhosis (womenSSM, RR = 4.09; 95 % CI 1.01-10.7), and of psoriasis (menSSM, RR = 2.48; 95 % CI 1.77-3.36), rheumatic fever (menSSM, RR = 7.55; 95 % CI 1.87-19.8), myasthenia gravis (menSSM, RR = 5.51; 95 % CI 1.36-14.4), localized scleroderma (menSSM, RR = 7.16; 95 % CI 1.18-22.6) and pemphigoid (menSSM, RR = 6.56; 95 % CI 1.08-20.6), while Dupuytren's contracture was reduced (menSSM, RR = 0.64; 95 % CI 0.39-0.99). The excess of psoriasis was restricted to same-sex married men with HIV/AIDS (menSSM, RR = 10.5; 95 % CI 6.44-15.9), whereas Graves' disease occurred in excess only among same-sex married men without HIV/AIDS (menSSM, RR = 1.99; 95 % CI 1.12-3.22). Lesbians and immunologically competent gay men in same-sex marriage face no unusual overall risk of autoimmune diseases. However, the observed increased risk of thyroid dysfunction in these lesbians and gay men deserves further study.</p
[Detection of rotavirus infection in Danish children]
No full textRotavirus (RV) is the most frequent causative agent of severe diarrhoea in infants and young children worldwide, also in Denmark. However, the actual number of diagnosed RV cases among Danish children is unknown. If a new RV-vaccine is to be introduced in Denmark, updated data on RV disease burden is important and the validity of potential surveillance systems needs to be explored
