We conducted a retrospective review of hospital discharge registries from 2010 to 2012 in the pediatric wards of four Haitian hospitals and recorded the number of all-cause hospitalizations and deaths as well as diarrheal hospitalizations and deaths by age (\u2264 2 and 3\u20135 years) and epidemiological week. Diarrhea was associated with 3,582 (33.7%) of 10,621 hospitalizations and 62 (11.5%) of 540 in-hospital deaths in children \u2264 5 years old. Of these children, 88.5% and 96.8%, respectively, were among children \u2264 2 years old. The highest proportions of diarrhea-associated hospitalizations occurred from January to April. At four Haitian hospitals over a 3-year period, during which time a major epidemic of cholera occurred, diarrheal disease in children \u2264 5 years was a major contributor to pediatric hospitalizations and mortality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.13-0370","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,17]],"date-time":"2013-12-17T04:51:49Z","timestamp":1387255909000},"page":"291-293","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Hospitalizations and Deaths Caused by Diarrhea in Children Five Years Old and Younger at Four Hospitals in Haiti, 2010\u20132012"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"Kiersten S.","family":"Derby","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mentor Ali Ber","family":"Lucien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eyal","family":"Leshem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria W.","family":"Steenland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stanley","family":"Juin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gerard A.","family":"Joseph","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark A.","family":"Katz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"Lancet","first-page":"2095","article-title":"Global and regional mortality from 235 causes of death for 20 age groups in 1990 and 2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010","volume":"380","author":"Lozano","year":"2012"},{"year":"2007","series-title":"Rapport Annuel 2006","author":"Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9 Publique et de la Population","key":"R2"},{"key":"R3","series-title":"PLoS One","first-page":"e29151","article-title":"Estimating diarrhea mortality among young children in low and middle income countries","volume":"7","author":"Walker","year":"2012"},{"key":"R4","series-title":"Lancet","first-page":"209","article-title":"Burden and aetiology of diarrheal disease in infants and young children in developing countries (the Global Enteric Multicenter Study, GEMS): a prospective, case-control study","volume":"382","author":"Kotloff","year":"2013"},{"key":"R5","series-title":"Lancet","first-page":"184","article-title":"Diarrhea in children: identifying the cause and burden","volume":"382","author":"Natchu","year":"2013"},{"key":"R6","series-title":"N Engl J Med","first-page":"599","article-title":"Cholera surveillance during the Haiti epidemic\u2014the first 2 years","volume":"368","author":"Barzilay","year":"2013"},{"key":"R7","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"641","article-title":"Laboratory-confirmed cholera and rotavirus among patients with acute diarrhea in four hospitals in Haiti, 2012\u20132013","volume":"89","author":"Steenland","year":"2013"},{"key":"R8","series-title":"J Infect Dis","first-page":"13","article-title":"Hospitalizations associated with rotavirus diarrhea in the United States, 1993 through 1995: surveillance based on the new ICD-9-CM rotavirus-specific diagnostic code","volume":"177","author":"Parashar","year":"1998"},{"year":"2010","series-title":"Epidemiologic Surveillance of Diarrheal Diseases Due to Rotavirus: Field Guide.
