The strategy of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) treatment in household (TB) contacts has been expanding South Korea. However, there is little evidence the cost-effectiveness LTBI patients over 35 years age. This study aimed to evaluate among TB different age groups Korea.An age-structured model was developed based on reports from Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency National Health Insurance Service. Quality-adjusted life-years (QALY) averted number TB-related deaths were...
Background Among high-income countries, South Korea has a considerable tuberculosis (TB) burden; North one of the highest TB burdens in world. Predicting impact control strategies on burden can help to efficiently implement programmes. Methods We designed deterministic compartmental model Korea. After calibration with notification incidence data from Korea, for 2040 was predicted according four different intervention strategies: latent infection (LTBI) treatment, rapid diagnosis, active...
To evaluate the efficacy of intervention policies on coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) dissemination.An age-structured compartmental model for COVID-19 outbreak was proposed to predict impact control measures in Seoul/Gyeonggi region. The calibrated based actual data and realistic situations, including daily vaccine doses, proportion delta variant cases, confirmed cases by age. We simulated different scenarios non-pharmaceutical interventions varying social distancing school attendance...
