[Risk of hospitalisation due to foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis--secondary publication]. / Indlaeggelsesrisiko efter fødevarebårne bakterielle mave-tarm-infektioner.

In a matched cohort study we estimate the risk of hospitalisation due to gastroenteritis, complications and sequelae after infections with zoonotic Salmonella, Campylobacter spp., Yersinia enterocolitica, E. coli and Shigella infections. Out of 52,783 patients, 7,524 (14.4%) were hospitalized with gastroenteritis, 647 (1.2%) with complications and 865 (1.7%) with long-term sequelae. In Denmark in 2005 there were 6,010 registered episodes of infections with bacteria that are usually foodborne, contributing to an estimated 6,267 days of hospitalisation.
