ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Analizar la mortalidad por diarrea en menores de cinco años en México, antes y después de la vacunación contra el rotavirus. Material y métodos. Se compararon defunciones y mortalidad por diarrea mediante diferencias porcentuales anuales por grupo etario, antes (2000-2005) y después (2006-2007) de la vacunación. Resultados. Entre 2000 y 2007 la mortalidad por diarrea disminuyó 42%. En los estados con vacunación, la mortalidad se redujo 15.8 y 27.7% en menores de uno y de uno a cuatro años, respectivamente, en el periodo de 2006 a 2007. Discusión. La reducción observada en la mortalidad por diarrea en menores de cinco años después de 2005 puede atribuirse en parte a la vacunación contra el rotavirus.


Objective. To analyze the mortality due to acute diarrhea in children younger than five years old, before and after the introduction of rotavirus vaccine in Mexico. Material and Methods. Number of deaths and mortality rates due to acute diarrhea were compared by children’s age and states’ vaccine status using annual percentage differences before (2000-2005) and after (2006-2007) the introduction of the HRV. Results. From 2000-2007, deaths due to acute diarrhea in children under five years of age dropped 42%. In those states that received the HRV early in 2006, diarrhea mortality decreased between 2006-2007 15.8% in children younger than one year old and 22.7% in children 1-4 years old. Discussion. The observed reduction in mortality due to acute diarrhea in children under five years of age after 2005 can be, in part, attributed to the HRV.
