| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS MGrR0x2b. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background : Population-based estimates of hospitalization rates for varicella provide data of the severe and costly end of this disease. Objective : To estimate the annual burden of hospitalization due to primary varicella in the 17 Autonomous Regions of Spain. Methods : Data were obtained from the national surveillance system for hospital data and comprises all hospital discharges for varicella reported during the 1995-2000 period. Results : The overall incidence of hospitalizations was 2.7 per 100,000 persons per year (ranging from 3.2 in Navarra to 1.5 in the Canary Islands). Forty-eight deaths were reported during the period. Each year varicella was responsible for 3017 days of hospitalization in persons<=10 years of age and 3333 days in persons>10 years of age. The annual cost of these hospitalizations was 1.2 million and more than 500.000 euros for persons<10 years and>10 years of age, respectively. Conclusion : Varicella is associated to a severe morbidity in children, adolescents and adults in Spain. The burden of varicella is likely to be potentially reduced by effective immunization programs. |
