Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; RR, rate ratio.

aData from 26 US states from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project’s State Inpatient Databases; see Data Sources, in Methods, for the full list of states. Adjusted RRs are from negative binomial regression comparing the prevaccine period (2000–2006) with the postvaccine period (2008–2013) by year, controlling for the pre-2004 period.

bUnadjusted rate per 10000 age-specific population.

cRRs for comparison with prevaccine era.

dSignificant at the α = .05 level.
