About

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.
