Table 4. Rotavirus positive proportion, attributable fraction (AF) and attributable fraction in the exposed (AFe) for MSD cases <5yrs that were hospitalised with all syndromes of diarrhoea in GEMS*.

* Includes all syndromes of diarrhoea i.e. acute watery diarrhoea, acute bloody diarrhoea, and acute watery cases that became persistent after enrolment.
** These values were based on the children that were enrolled i.e. tested for rotavirus. Age-specific presentations of these values (0-11m, 12-23m, 24-59m) were used in the calculation of AF and AFe.
*** Rotavirus-positive hospitalisation was rare in Mali (n = 5) and Pakistan (n = 2) so country-specific AF and AFe are not reported. The data for these countries are included in the estimates for ASIA, AFRICA and ALL SITES.
