*AGE: acute gastroenteritis; MBDS: Minimum Basic Data Set. Rota: rotavirus; ms: months; y: years old.
aPrincipal diagnosis of bacterial or parasitic AGE (001–005, 006–007, and 008.0–008.5) and viral AGE (008.6 to 008.8), excluding a principal diagnosis of localized salmonella infection (003.21–003.24) or amebic abscess (006.3–006.6). Also, non-typified AGE with a secondary diagnosis of infectious (typified) AGE.
bNon-typified AGE without a secondary diagnosis of infectious AGE: “AGE of undetermined cause” (009.0 to 009.3), “unspecified noninfectious AGE” (558.9), or “diarrhea” (787.91).
