Establishing a process for conducting cross-jurisdictional record linkage in Australia

We outline the processes involved in conducting a Proof of Concept data linkage project including the implementation of national data integration principles

Coinfection is not associated with increased clinical severity, but further investigations by pathogen pairs are warranted

Timeliness and factors associated with rotavirus vaccine uptake among Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children: A record linkage cohort study

Aboriginal children are at greater risk of rotavirus disease than non-Aboriginal children and delayed vaccine receipt is substantially higher

Spatial clustering of notified tuberculosis in Ethiopia: A nationwide study

Substantial spatial clustering of notified tuberculosis was detected at region, zone and district level in Ethiopia

Temporal trends and socioeconomic differences in acute respiratory infection hospitalisations in children: an intercountry comparison of birth cohort studies

Admissions for ARI were higher in Western Australia and displayed greater socioeconomic disparities than England and Scotland, where ARI rates are increasing

Caregiver’s attitudes, beliefs, and experiences for influenza vaccination in Australian children with medical comorbidities

Influenza vaccination recommendation by children’s hospital physicians and previous vaccine receipt in hospital was associated with vaccine uptake
