[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST l8oYR0xh. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study sought to describe trends in hospitalizations associated with infectious diseases among American Indians and Alaska Natives. Methods. Infectious disease hospitalizations and rates among Americn Indians and AlaskaNatives decreased by 31.0% between 1980 and 1994. Infectious disease hospitalizations accounted for 16.3% of all hospitalizations in 1980 and 21.2% in 1994, an increase of 30.1%. In 1994, the age-adjusted infectious disease hospitalization rate for American Indians and Alaska Natives was 1863 per 100 000 population, approximately 21% greatr than that for the general US population. Conclusions. Hospitalization trends for infectious diseases show that there has been improvement in the health status of American Indians and Alaska Natives but also indicate that this population has a higher infectious disease burden that the general US population.
