Background and aims The Burden of Communicable Diseases in Europe (BCoDE) study aimed to calculate disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 31 selected diseases the European Union (EU) Economic Area (EEA). Methods: DALYs were estimated using an incidence-based pathogen-based approach. Incidence was through assessment data availability quality, a correction applied under-estimation. Calculation performed with BCoDE software toolkit without applying time discounting age-weighting. Results:...
The cumulative incidence of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases is showing similar trends in European Union/European Economic Area countries and the United Kingdom confirming that, while at a different stage depending on country, COVID-19 pandemic progressing rapidly all countries. Based experience from Italy, countries, hospitals intensive care units should increase their preparedness for surge patients with who will require healthcare, particular care.
The proportion of women living with a diagnosis breast cancer in developed countries is increasing. Because cancer-specific deaths decrease time since diagnosis, it important to assess the burden other causes death diagnosed cancer.Different within 10 years from were assessed 12,850 younger than 75 age stage 1 3 Stockholm and Gotland regions 1990 2006. Flexible parametric survival models used estimate hazard ratios over by tumor characteristics at diagnosis.The attributed ranged 95.0% among...
We evaluated invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) during 8 years of infant conjugate vaccine (PCV) programs using 10-valent (PCV10) and 13-valent (PCV13) vaccines in 10 countries Europe. IPD incidence declined 2011-2014 but increased 2015-2018 all age groups. From the 7-valent PCV period to 2018, by 42% children <5 age, 32% persons 5-64 7% >65 age; non-PCV13 serotype 111%, 63%, 84%, respectively, for these Trends were similar PCV13 or PCV10, despite different distribution. In serotypes...
Two months after the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), possibility established and widespread community transmission in European Union Economic Area (EU/EEA) is becoming more likely. We provide scenarios for use preparedness a possible epidemic. The EU/EEA moving towards ‘limited sustained transmission’ phase. propose actions to prepare potential mitigation phases coordinate efforts protect health citizens.

While many European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries recently expanded human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination to boys, HPV vaccine supply is currently limited for girls in low- and middle-income (LMIC) that are severely affected by HPV.Globally, about 50% of have introduced vaccination. Some LMIC with high burden cervical cancer not yet vaccination, or reaching suboptimal coverage. WHO issued a call elimination 2018, global shortage vaccines predicted last at least until...
Metastatic breast cancer is a severe condition without curative treatment. How relative and absolute risk of distant metastasis varies over time since diagnosis, as function treatment, age tumour characteristics, has not been studied in detail. A total 9514 women under the 75 when diagnosed with Stockholm Gotland regions during 1990–2006 were followed up for (mean follow-up=5.7 years). Time-dependent development was analysed using flexible parametric survival models presented hazard ratio...
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) that are ten-valent (PCV10) and 13-valent (PCV13) became available in 2010. We evaluated their global impact on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) incidence all ages. Serotype-specific IPD cases population denominators were obtained directly from surveillance sites using PCV10 or PCV13 national immunisation programmes with a primary series uptake of at least 50%. Annual rate ratios (IRRs) estimated comparing the before any PCV each year post-PCV10...
Widespread use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) has reduced vaccine-type invasive disease (IPD). We describe the serotype distribution IPD after extensive ten-valent PCV (PCV10; Synflorix, GSK) and 13-valent (PCV13; Prevenar 13, Pfizer) globally. data were obtained from surveillance sites participating in WHO-commissioned Pneumococcal Serotype Replacement Distribution Estimation (PSERENADE) project that exclusively used PCV10 or PCV13 (hereafter sites, respectively) their national...
The burden of disease framework facilitates the assessment health impact diseases through use summary measures population such as Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). However, calculating, interpreting and communicating results studies using this methodology poses a challenge. aim Burden Communicable Disease in Europe (BCoDE) project is to summarize communicable European Union Economic Area Member States (EU/EEA MS). To meet goal, user-friendly software tool (BCoDE toolkit), was...
Bone fractures may have an impact on prognosis of breast cancer. The long-term risks bone fracture in cancer patients not been thoroughly studied. Poisson regression was used to investigate the incidence hospitalisation due comparing women with and without based Swedish National registers. Cox risk being hospitalised fracture, subsequent death, a regional cohort patients. For patients, 5-year 4.8% 30-day death following 2.0%. Compared general population, had rate ratios 1.25 (95% CI:...
Challenges in reaching good vaccination coverage against measles emerged several European Union/European Economic Area Member States (EU/EEA MS) leading to progressive accumulation of susceptible individuals and outbreaks. The Burden Communicable Diseases Europe (BCoDE) project developed a methodology for measuring the burden communicable diseases expressed Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) EU/EEA MS. aim this study was compare national across MS.Country-specific data on 2006-2011 from...
With an annual incidence between 8 and 15 per 100,000 population in the period from 2009 to 2013, Slovenia has one of highest notified incidences tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) Europe. TBE vaccination coverage remains at about 7.3%. To inform policy, we used surveillance data 2013 calculate overall age- sex-specific mean incidence. We estimated disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) with 95% uncertainty intervals (UI), using Burden Communicable Diseases Europe approach European Centre for...
Many countries, including some within the EU/EEA, are in process of transitioning from acute pandemic phase. During this transition, it is crucial that countries' strategies and activities remain guided by clear COVID-19 control objectives, which increasingly will focus on preventing managing severe outcomes. Therefore, attention must be given to groups particularly vulnerable outcomes SARS-CoV-2 infection, individuals congregate healthcare settings. In phase management, a strong testing...
Aim: The survey, supported by the National Health Institute (ISS), investigates on sources of information for HIV/AIDS and sexual behaviour Italian general population. Methods: survey was carried out in four different provinces with geographical, social, epidemiological patterns HIV/AIDS: Bari, Milan, Parma, Perugia. A self-administered questionnaire used to interview a sample 2000 people, aged 18–49 years, chosen using quota-sampling, considering age, sex, level education. Results: total...
Composite health measures are increasingly applied in studies aiming at describing the burden of diseases, and food water-borne diseases (FWDs) no exception. The Burden Communicable Diseases Europe (BCoDE) is a project led funded by European Centre for Disease Prevention Control (ECDC) with purpose encouraging empowering public experts estimation impact communicable expressed Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). Calculation DALYs critical assessment disease outputs require thorough...
