Despite the current pneumococcal vaccination program in England for older adults and with underlying conditions, disease burden remains high. We evaluated cost-effectiveness of 20-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV20) compared to recommendations England.Lifetime outcomes/costs invasive (IPD) community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) among aged 65-99 years 18-64 conditions were projected using a deterministic cohort model. Vaccination PCV20 was 23-valent polysaccharide (PPV23) from National Health...

The objective was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (NMV/r) in treating adults with COVID-19 at high-risk developing severe who do not require supplemental oxygen, compared no treatment, from Spanish National Health System (NHS) perspective. A decision-tree for first year followed by a two-state Markov model annual cycles lifetime horizon developed. cohort 1000 high-risk, symptomatic patients entered each comparator, divided into hospitalized patients, considering...

Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (NMV/r) is an orally administered antiviral indicated for the outpatient treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 at high risk disease progression to severe illness. We estimated cost-effectiveness NMV/r versus best supportive care illness from a US health sector perspective.

Accurate and up-to-date figures of the cost community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) hospitalization are needed to understand associated economic burden for public health decision-makers. Recent estimates lacking, previously published differ markedly. Our objective was estimate current mean UK National Health Service (NHS) adult hospitalized CAP.All CAP hospitalizations in 2019 those aged ≥18 years were identified from English Hospital Episode Statistics (HES). Each mapped tariff paid care...

Background Despite progress in TB control low-burden countries like England and Wales, there are still diagnostic delays. Molecular testing and/or whole-genome sequencing (WGS) provide more rapid diagnosis but their cost-effectiveness is relatively unexplored settings. Methods An integrated transmission-dynamic health economic model used to assess the of using WGS replace culture-based drug-sensitivity testing, versus molecular combined use for routine diagnosis. The accounts effects faster...

Background: In HIV infection, the homeostasis of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells is dramatically disturbed, several studies have pointed out that T-cell turnover rates are increased. To understand how pools affected, it important to quantitative insights into lifespans constituting different T-lymphocyte populations. Methods: We used long-term in-vivo 2H2O labeling mathematical modeling estimate average naive memory in untreated (n = 4) combination antiretroviral therapy-treated 3) HIV-1-infected...

The peripheral naive T-cell pool is generally thought to consist of a subpopulation recent thymic emigrants (RTE) and mature (MN) T cells with different dynamics. Thymus transplantation adoptive transfer studies in mice have provided contradicting results, some suggesting that RTE are relatively short-lived cells, while another study suggested survival advantage. We here estimate the death rates MN by performing both thymus transplantations deuterium labeling experiments at least 12 weeks...

Naive T cells in untreated HIV-1 infected individuals have a reduced T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) content. Previous mathematical models suggested that this is due to increased naive division. It remains unclear, however, how TREC contents can be reconciled with gradual loss of infection. We performed longitudinal analyses humans before and after seroconversion, used model investigate which processes could explain the observed changes numbers TRECs during disease progression. Both...

Abstract Homeless persons have elevated risk of tuberculosis (TB) and are under-served by conventional health services. Approaches to active case-finding (ACF) treatment tailored their needs required. A transmission-dynamic model was developed assess the effectiveness efficiency screening with mobile Chest X-ray, GeneXpert, or both. Effectiveness ACF depends upon prevalence infection in population (which determines ‘yield’), patient willingness wait for GeneXpert results, adherence. is...
