Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory infection. It affects people of all ages, yet evidence the impact pertussis in adults with underlying conditions (UCs) scarce. This study investigated incidence and complication rate adult patients without UC. A retrospective analysis was conducted using routinely collected German claims data between 2015 2019. Patients different pneumological, cardiovascular, endocrinological, musculoskeletal, psychological UCs were matched for estimation....
The Raise Awareness of Influenza Strategies in Europe (RAISE) group gathered information about the healthcare burden influenza (hospitalizations, intensive care unit [ICU] admissions, and excess deaths), surveillance systems, vaccine coverage rate (VCR) older adults 18 European countries Israel. Published medical literature official documentation on disease participating were reviewed from 2010/11 until 2022/23 seasons. Information framework for monitoring provision ensuring had access to...
Abstract Background Approximately 20–25% of patients who survive medical treatment at an intensive care unit (ICU) develop post-traumatic stress symptoms. There is currently a gap in follow-up for them. As part the PICTURE study, general practitioners (GPs) carried out brief interview-based intervention. The aim this sub-study to record most distressing memories ICU from patient’s perspective and their evaluation GP-based psychological Methods Participants were recruited intervention group...
Enhanced Passive Safety Surveillance was used to detect safety signals before the peak period of immunization with quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines (IIV4) in Finland (standard dose [SD]) and Germany (high [HD]) 2023–24 season. The primary objective evaluate adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurring ≤7 days following IIV4 vaccination. Enrolled participants were vaccinated routine clinical care settings encouraged report ADRs. Exposure data ADR reports collected a near real-time...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections pose health and economic burdens to adults. Using claims data, we estimated RSV-associated costs, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), complication rates from patients of a nationwide German insurance database. We analyzed confirmed RSV, RSV-possible, acute respiratory infection (ARI) cohorts, plus 1:1 matched control cohorts individuals ≥ 18 years 2010 2019. Matching was performed separately for 18-49, 50-59, 60 years. Medical HCRU, sick leave...
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide. Besides cigarette smoking, waterpipe and e-cigarettes are gaining popularity among young adults. Medical students’ smoking behavior particular interest because their impending role in health promotion as future physicians. Aim our study to examine prevalence predictors cigarette, e-cigarette association tobacco with self-reported status an international sample medical students. In a multicenter cross-sectional data on different...
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is rapidly spreading to new areas in many parts of Europe. While vaccination remains the most effective method protection against disease, vaccine uptake low endemic countries.
Although the management of patients presenting with vertigo and dizziness in primary care has been reported to be inefficient, little is known about providers' (PCPs) perspectives, needs, attitudes regarding management. The objective this study was understand which challenges barriers PCPs see when diagnosing treating or dizziness. Specifically, we wanted identify facilitators successful guideline implementation order inform development targeted interventions. A theory-based interview...
Background: Due to the increase in survival rates for congenital heart disease (CHD) last decades, over 90% of patients today reach adulthood. Currently, there are more than 300,000 adults with CHD (ACHD) living Germany. They have an increased need specialized medical care, since almost all ACHD chronic and suffer from specific symptoms, risks, sequelae. Primary care physicians (PCPs) play a crucial role referring specialists or institutions. This cross-sectional study is intended clarify...
Background: The number of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) is steadily rising due to increased survival rate and improved medical resources. Accordingly, more than 330,000 ACHD are currently living in Germany. Almost all them require lifelong specialized follow-up for their chronic disease, often accompanied by residua, sequelae, or comorbidities. Primary care physicians (PCPs) a crucial factor directing patients specialists institutions, but despite efforts, the under low,...
HPV vaccination has been recommended and reimbursed for girls in Germany since 2007. In June 2018 the German Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) gender-neutral of adolescents aged 9 to 14 years with catch-up through age 17. Objectives this study were describe uptake boys before during COVID-19 pandemic.The used data from a proprietary electronic medical record database information nationally dispensed vaccine doses. The monthly number first doses vaccinations 9-17 period 01/2018...
Enhanced Passive Safety Surveillance (EPSS) was conducted for quadrivalent inactivated split-virion influenza vaccines (IIV4) in Germany (high dose [HD]) and Finland (standard [SD]) the northern hemisphere (NH) 2022/23 season. The primary objective to assess adverse events following immunization (AEFI) occurring ≤7 days post-vaccination. In each country, EPSS at beginning of NH Exposure information documented using vaccination cards (VC), AEFI were reported via an electronic data collection...
Real-world evidence supports SARS-CoV-2 vaccination strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. This real-world retrospective study utilized German Disease Analyzer database to characterize recipients of NVX-CoV2373 and explore outcomes. Recipients (≥12 years) as a primary series or booster in Germany were vaccinated between March December 2022. Outcomes included demographics clinical characteristics recipients, tolerability/reactogenicity-related events within 7 14 days post-vaccination,...
Physical and mental health is important for coping with the high requirements of medical studies that are associated a higher risk severe stress, insomnia, smoking, harmful alcohol consumption easier access to drugs. Health behaviors students influence not just their own but also future patients. We examined whether socio-cultural factors can explain differences in students' status health-promoting behaviors. A multicenter cross-sectional survey Germany (Dresden, Munich) Hungary (Budapest,...
Abstract Background Influenza surveillance systems vary widely between countries and there is no framework to evaluate national in terms of data generation dissemination. This study aimed develop test a comparative for European influenza surveillance. Methods Surveillance were evaluated qualitatively five (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom) by panel experts researchers from each country. Seven sub-systems defined: non-medically attended community surveillance, virological...
Abstract Background The significant annual burden caused by seasonal influenza has led to global calls for increased vaccination coverage rates (VCRs). We aimed estimate the proportion of German population at high risk serious illness from due chronic conditions and age‐specific VCRs people with/without conditions. Methods Using health insurance claims data covering nine seasons (2010–2019), we assessed up 7 million insured individuals per season across all regions. Individuals were...
