<h3>Importance</h3> Countries have varied enormously in how they responded to the COVID-19 pandemic, ranging from elimination strategies (eg, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan) tight suppression (not aiming for but rather keep infection rates low [eg, South Korea]) loose Europe, United States) virtually unmitigated Brazil, India). Weighing best option, based on health and economic consequences due lockdowns, is necessary. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine optimal policy response, using a net...
Cold indoor temperature (<18 °C) is associated with hypertension-related and respiratory disease, depression, anxiety. We estimate total health, health expenditure income impacts of permanently lifting the in living areas home to 18 °C cold homes South-eastern Australia (N = 17 million).A proportional multistate lifetable model was used adjusted life years (HALYs), earnings, over remainder lifespan population alive 2021 (3% discount rate). Multiple data were integrated including prevalence...
Abstract Importance Determining the best policy on social restrictions and lockdowns for COVID-19 pandemic is challenging. Objective To determine optimal response ranging from aggressive moderate elimination, tight suppression (aiming 1 to 5 cases per million day) loose (5 25 day). Design Two simulation models in series: an agent-based model estimate daily SARS-CoV-2 infection rates time four stages of restrictions; a proportional multistate lifetable long-run health impacts (health adjusted...
Background Following widespread exposure to Omicron variants, COVID-19 has transitioned endemic cir- culation. Populations now have diverse infection and vaccination histories, resulting in heterogeneous immune landscapes. Careful consideration of is required through the post-Omicron phase management minimise disease burden. We assess impact cost-effectiveness targeted strategies support global recommendations. Methods integrated immunological, transmission, clinical models, simulated...
Background: Countries can decide between one of three COVID-19 control strategies: 1) elimination (e.g., some island countries); 2) suppression, to low infection rates; 3) or mitigation, as per pandemic influenza strategies with ensuing herd immunity. This paper quantifies the health (direct impact, and indirect through unemployment onto self-harm road traffic crash) cost (health system societal) consequences for these across Australia, New Zealand (NZ) Sweden. Methods: We used proportional...
Universal provision of iron supplements or iron-containing multiple micronutrient powders (MNPs) is widely used to prevent anemia in young children low- and middle-income countries. The BRISC (Benefits Risks Iron Interventions Children) trial compared MNPs with placebo <2 y old rural Bangladesh. We aimed assess the cost-effectiveness among did a analysis using outcomes resource use data, programmatic data from literature. Health care costs were assessed health system perspective. calculated...
Scabies and related bacterial skin soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are highly prevalent in many tropical, low- middle-income settings. These conditions contribute to higher healthcare costs burdens on systems. The Big Skin Health Intervention Fiji Trial ("Big SHIFT") carried out surveillance for scabies SSTIs from July 2018 June 2019 the Northern Division of Fiji, an area with high prevalence scabies, prior a division-wide ivermectin-based mass drug administration (MDA) campaign. Using data...
Most infections are thought to be transmitted by contact with an infected person’s body fluid, e.g., Ebola virus disease (EVD). Following the recent EVD outbreak in Nigeria, essence of this study was assess responses epidemic prevention Nigeria individuals and institutions; a comparative hand hygiene practices during after carried out. The aim indirectly level nation’s preparedness combating assessing attitude practice among general population institutions Abuja–FCT, investigate presence...
The plant, Viscum album, is implicated in a variety of therapies ranging from skin, gastrointestinal, hypertension to tumour problems, therefore, it has served humanity for centuries. However, its involvement malaria control not been reported as the disease claims about 500 millions cases yearly and now become world issue. Routine larvicidal assay leaf extract exposed promising indications, addition, effects on sensitivity selected bacteria need confirmation consequently prompted present...
