| Abstract |
Diarrhea caused by viruses is a global problem among young children. We investigated two of the most important agents, rotavirus and adenovirus, to provide epidemiological evidence for a better understanding of their role among children with acute diarrhea. A total of 3147 hospitalized children were enrolled in the study during 2010 ~ 2014. Antigen testing for rotavirus and DNA testing for adenovirus were performed on stool specimens collected from participants. There were 1985 cases of community-acquired diarrhea (CAD) and 1162 cases of hospital-acquired diarrhea (HAD). A total of 692 cases (22.0 %) were positive for rotavirus. Rotavirus was detected in more children with HAD than in those with CAD (24.6 %; 286/1162 vs. 20.5 %; 406/1985). A total of 324 cases (10.3 %) were adenovirus positive. There was a significant difference between the CAD group and HAD group (9.5 %; 188/1985 vs. 11.7 %; 136/1162: χ (2) = 3.957, p = 0.047). Co-infection was found in only 35 children (1.11 %), and the co-infection rate was similar between the CAD and HAD groups (χ (2) = 1.174, p = 0.279). There was no association between sex and the detection rate of these viruses. The positive rate was significantly different for rotavirus among CAD cases (χ (2) = 27.979, p < 0.001) and for adenovirus (χ (2) = 34.362, p < 0.001) in the five age groups. Compared with the other four age groups (15.8-19.8 %), the prevalence of rotaviruses was highest among children aged 12-24 months (28.6 %). Adenovirus was detected in 3.6 % of neonates compared with 5.8 % of infants from 1 to 6 months old; this increased to 12.0-13.8 % in children over 6 months of age. In HAD cases, age differences were not found for rotavirus and adenovirus. Seasonal variation of rotavirus was observed, with peaks in November and December and with through in July and August; however, no clear seasonal pattern was found for adenovirus. Detection rates for rotavirus and adenovirus were significantly higher in children with HAD than those with CAD, but co-infection was very low. A high prevalence of rotavirus was identified in neonates with diarrhea. Vaccination for rotavirus gastroenteritis should be considered in neonates. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 September 2016.
All research outputs
#14,637,157
of 24,051,764 outputs
Outputs from BMC Infectious Diseases
#3,746
of 8,044 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#180,422
of 326,269 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Infectious Diseases
#114
of 226 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,051,764 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,044 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 326,269 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 226 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
