Trial overview
Official title: Feasibility pilot study assessing the impact on the quality of hospital care after the introduction of rotavirus vaccination in Belgium
Trial description: This study aims to investigate whether a change in the pattern of hospitalisation was observed in paediatric wards over the last 6 years (June 2004 – May 2010), whether a change in staff workforce availability was observed in paediatric wards over the last 6 years (during a whole year or during specific time periods of the year) and if changes of any of the variables measured during the observation period could be linked to the introduction of rotavirus vaccination.

Primary outcomes:
Determination of changes in hospitalisation pattern and workforce availability at the level of a pediatric ward in a hospital setting.
Timeframe: During the study period (from June 1st 2004 up to 6 years)
Secondary outcomes:
Expression of the changes into a quality of hospital care score that can be easily applied in different hospital settings.
Timeframe: During the study period (from June 1st 2004 up to 6 years)
Determination through factor and regression analysis which variable influences most the score in order to improve the score calculation.
Timeframe: During the study period (from June 1st 2004 up to 6 years)
Investigation of whether a change in the quality of hospital care score could be linked to the introduction of rotavirus vaccination.
Timeframe: During the study period (from June 1st 2004 up to 6 years)
Observation of other changes in the hospital organisation as a consequence of a change in the quality of hospital care score.
Timeframe: During the study period (from June 1st 2004 up to 6 years)
