Burden of Hospitalizations Related to Pneumococcal Infection in Spain (2016–2020)

Abstract: Pneumococcal infection strongly contributes to morbidity and mortality in Spain. A total of 253,899 hospitalizations related to pneumococcal infection occurred from 2016 to 2020. Fifty-eight percent were men, the mean age was 67 years old, and the average length of hospitalization was 12.72 days. The annual hospitalization rate was 10.84 hospitalizations per 10,000 population, increasing significantly with age, reaching 65.75 per 10,000 population in those aged >85 years. The hospitalization rates for pneum… Show more

“…Previous studies have brought to attention the high burden of immunization-preventable diseases in Spain in terms of epidemiology and costs (40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45). Here, we provide an updated estimation of disease burden employing the BCoDE methodology, considering a holistic DALY approach.…”

“…RSV is associated with a signi cant burden in children under 5 years, with 2.92 DALYs per 100,000 population/year, driven by high infectivity and incidence coupled to high mortality (58, 59), as indicated by a vast number of studies that highlight the burden of hospitalizations due to bronchiolitis and RSV in children in Spain (42,44,(60)(61)(62)(63). Moreover, ndings from a recently published longitudinal study that followed 51,292 Spanish children < 5 years suggest that hospitalization data alone underestimate the RSV infections requiring medical care and describe a larger clinical and economic burden in both primary care and hospital setting (64, 65).…”
