Burden of invasive pneumococcal disease, non-invasive all-cause pneumonia, and acute otitis media in hospitalized US children: a retrospective multi-center study from 2015 to 2020
The burden of PD among hospitalized pediatric patients in the US remains substantial. Our study highlights the burden of PD among young children (< 2 years) and children with underlying medical conditions that put them at greater risk for PD. The results support the need for ongoing prevention efforts including vaccination and antimicrobial stewardship programs to reduce the burden of PD in children.
