RESUMEN
Fundamentos

La frecuencia de infecciones graves por virus de hepatitis A se puede estimar a partir de la información sobre las hospitalizaciones. Los datos para este estudio se obtuvieron del sistema nacional de vigilancia de datos hospitalarios, Conjunto Mínimo Básico de Datos. Se analizaron todos los ingresos por hepatitis A durante el período 1995-1998.

Método

Se recogieron un total de 1.148 hospitalizaciones por hepatitis A, que representan una incidencia anual de 8,7 casos por cada 1.000.000 habitantes. El 30% de los casos era < 10 años de edad y el 64% pertenecía al grupo de 11-40 años de edad. Cada año la hepatitis A causó una media de 1.894 días de hospitalización, lo cual representa un coste anual de 389.602 N.

Conclusión

Aunque la frecuencia total de infecciones por virus de hepatitis A que requieren hospitalización es moderado, probablemente podría reducirse de manera considerable si se alcanzasen altas cotas de inmunidad en la población mediante la vacunación sistemática de la población infantil.

ABSTRACT
Backgrounds

An estimate of the burden of serious hepatitis A infections can be obtained from information on hospitalizations. Data were obtained from the national surveillance system for hospital data (the Minimum Basic Data Set) in Spain. All hospital discharges for hepatitis A were analyzed for the 1995-98 period.

Method

A total of 1 148 admissions for hepatitis A were identified, representing an annual incidence of 8.7 per 1 000 000 inhabitants. Thirty percent of cases were < 10 years of age and 64% were 11-40 years old. Each year hepatitis A was responsible for an average of 1894 days of hospitalization, representing an annual cost of N 389 602.

Conclusion

Although the overall burden of hepatitis A infections requiring hospitalization is modest, it could probably be greatly reduced by achieving a high level of immunity among the population through routine vaccination of young children.
