IS, intussusception; IRR, incidence rate ratio; RR, rate ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; HRV, monovalent human rotavirus vaccine (Rotarix); HBRV, pentavalent bovine rotavirus vaccine (Rotateq); Age, age at which children were vaccinated; m, months; w, weeks; NR, not reported; a, calculated annual incidence rate; b, data for the entire post-vaccination era; * Rate calculated per 100,000 infant years. For the study citing Rotashield data, post-vaccination era data are reported only for the year 1998–1999, when Rotashield was available in the United States.
