“…A recent review by Patel et al [24], mainly including studies from developed countries, estimated an average incidence rate of intussusception of 57/100,000 infant-years in children <1 year of age. Higher annual incidences in children <1 year of age have been reported from Australia, with rates of 71-101/100,000 infants [4,19]. The highest incidences are generally reported from developing countries, e.g.…”

The primary objective of this epidemiological surveillance study was to estimate the incidence of intussusception (IS) associated with hospitalisation in children <1, <2 and <17 years of age in Germany. We analysed primary and secondary ICD-10 discharge diagnoses for IS (K56.1) and procedure codes for desinvagination from 28 paediatric hospitals in Bavaria, Germany, to identify children hospitalised in 2005 or 2006 due to IS. A total of 518 children with an ICD-10 code for IS were reported: 123 (23.7%) of the children were <1 year of age, 267 (51.5%) were 1-3 years old and 128 (24.8%) older than 3 years of age. IS was the primary ICD-10 diagnosis in 382 (74%) children, including 231 (60%) children with a procedure code for desinvagination. In 136 (26%) children, IS was reported as a secondary ICD-10 diagnosis, including 38 (28%) with a desinvagination procedure code. The yearly incidence of IS in children <1 year of age was estimated as 72/100,000 overall and as 43/100,000 for those with an additional procedural code for desinvagination. Patients solely with an ICD-10 code for IS are often suspected cases, based on clinical presentation. The combination of the ICD-10 code for IS and a procedure code for desinvagination provides a more specific and clinically relevant case definition, thereby offering a useful tool for long-term surveillance of the incidence of IS.

“…Intussusception rates among Indian infants were low (∼18 cases per 100,000 infant years of follow-up). Studies from middle-and high-income countries in Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Americas have generally reported somewhat greater intussusception rates of 30-70 cases per 100,000 infant-years [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]; however, other studies from Asia have reported substantially greater rates of intussusception. A study among Vietnamese infants reported a rate of 302 cases per 100,000 infantyears [19], and a study from Japan reported a rate of 185 cases per 100,000 infant-years [20].…”
