Purpose
This study aims to investigate whether a change in the pattern of hospitalisation was observed in paediatric wards over the last 6 years (June 2004 - May 2010), whether a change in staff workforce availability was observed in paediatric wards over the last 6 years (during a whole year or during specific time periods of the year) and if changes of any of the variables measured during the observation period could be linked to the introduction of rotavirus vaccination.

| Official Title: | Feasibility Pilot Study Assessing the Impact on the Quality of Hospital Care After the Introduction of Rotavirus Vaccination in Belgium |
- Determination of changes in hospitalisation pattern and workforce availability at the level of a pediatric ward in a hospital setting. [ Time Frame: During the study period (from June 1st 2004 up to 6 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Expression of the changes into a quality of hospital care score that can be easily applied in different hospital settings. [ Time Frame: During the study period (from June 1st 2004 up to 6 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Determination through factor and regression analysis which variable influences most the score in order to improve the score calculation. [ Time Frame: During the study period (from June 1st 2004 up to 6 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Investigation of whether a change in the quality of hospital care score could be linked to the introduction of rotavirus vaccination. [ Time Frame: During the study period (from June 1st 2004 up to 6 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Observation of other changes in the hospital organisation as a consequence of a change in the quality of hospital care score. [ Time Frame: During the study period (from June 1st 2004 up to 6 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Hospitalized Group
Data collection for changes in hospital pattern pre- versus post-rotavirus vaccination, in children ≤15 years old hospitalised for any reason between June 2004 and May 2010.
|
Other: Data collection
The participating centre will be requested to generate a coded list of all hospitalisations taken place during the study period (June 1st 2004- May 31st 2010) and analysed for changes in hospital pattern pre- versus post-rotavirus vaccination, in children aged ≤15 years.

Detailed Description:
This retrospective study will use data extracted from hospital databases during the period of the 1st of June 2004 until the 31st of May 2010. A coded list of all hospitalisations and of the different infection tests performed in children will be generated, together with a list of Full time equivalents (FTE) in paediatric ward and the number of sick leave days of the working personnel.
