Global frequency of Campylobacter-associated hospitalisations: A systematic review and meta-analyses
While most patients with Campylobacter infections are not hospitalised, vulnerable groups such as the very young, older adults and those with comorbidities are more likely to be hospitalised. The increase in hospitalisation frequency over time reinforces the urgent need to address this burden by prioritising research and interventions targeting Campylobacter exposure in vulnerable populations.
