Implication

Reinforces rotavirus strain surveillance needs; leaves open the clinical impact of emerging P[9] variants.

Structured PICO

P
Population
964 fecal specimens collected from children at 11 U.S. hospital laboratories from November 1997 to March 1998 and from samples collected at 12 laboratories from November 1998 to March 1999
O
Outcome
Prevalence of rotavirus serotypes (G and P proteins)

Common serotypes G1 to G4 account for almost 90% of circulating rotavirus strains in the US, though uncommon strains like G9 and AU1-like P[9] are present.
