Adult Otogenic Meningitis in the Pneumococcal Conjugated Vaccines Era.

In adults aged between 18 and 39 years old, there was also a significant downward trend, from 0.25 to 0.15 ( p = 0.02), similarly to adults aged between 40 and 64 years old, from 0.95 to 0.54 ( p = 0.03); and in patients ≥ 65 years old, the admission rate decreased by 38%, from 1.02 to 0.63, though it did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.08) (all rates shown are for pneumococcal meningitis admission cases per 100,000 individuals).
