Abstract
⺠Coding and testing patterns affect rotavirus burden and vaccine impact assessments. ⺠Only 36% of acute gastroenteritis hospitalisations had rotavirus stool testing. ⺠Rotavirus ICD code had low sensitivity (62%) to detect lab confirmed cases. ⺠Adjusted estimates were 6-fold higher than identified by rotavirus code only. ⺠Direct and adjusted methods gave similar reductions (over 65%) following vaccination.
