- The study evaluated the impact of a pertussis vaccination program for pregnant women, established in Catalonia in February 2014, on hospitalization rates for children under one year old.
- It compared hospitalization rates before (2008-2013) and after (2014-2019) the program, finding significant reductions particularly in infants under 3 months.
- The results showed lower hospitalization rates in both the overall group and in infants under 3 months, indicating the vaccination program's effectiveness, with no significant changes in clinical severity.
Unlabelled: Recent literature has shown that sleep patterns are shaped during the first years of life, playing a relevant role in children's functioning. We focused on comparing sleep patterns in infants and toddlers in Spain before and during COVID-19 home confinement to assess the immediate impact on sleep patterns. We compared data from two cross-sectional surveys from parents of 1658 children three to 36 months of age from Spain.

- The study analyzed the impact of a pertussis vaccination program introduced in Catalonia in February 2014 on hospitalization rates for infants under one year old.
- It compared hospitalization rates before the program (2008-2013) with rates after its implementation (2014-2019), focusing on infants under 3 months and those between 3-11 months.
- Results showed a significant reduction in hospitalization rates post-vaccination, particularly in infants under 3 months, indicating that the vaccination program effectively decreased pertussis-related hospitalizations in young children.
There is limited information on sleep patterns among infants and toddlers in Spain. The aim of this study was to assess sleep patterns in children three to 36 months of age in Spain. A cross-sectional study was conducted between February 2017 and February 2018.
