Outbreaks of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in hospitals and long-term care facilities (LTCFs) pose serious public health threats. We analysed how frequency size SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks LTCFs have altered since the beginning pandemic, particular start vaccination campaign.We used mandatory notification data on cases Germany stratified by outbreak LTCFs. German coverage were analysed. studied association occurrence with throughout four pandemic waves. built also counterfactual scenarios first...
Abstract We determined secondary attack rates (SAR) among close contacts of 59 asymptomatic and symptomatic coronavirus disease case-patients by presymptomatic exposure. observed no transmission from highest SAR through Rapid quarantine with or without symptoms is needed to prevent transmission.
Data from surveillance networks show that men have a higher incidence rate of infections with anti-microbial-resistant (AMR) pathogens than women. We systematically analysed data and colonisations AMR under mandatory in Germany to quantify gender-specific differences. calculated incidence-rates (IR) per 100,000 person–years for invasive Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), or carbapenem-non-susceptible Acinetobacter spp. (CRA), Enterobacterales (CRE), using the entire German...
BackgroundHepatitis A and B vaccinations are recommended for men who have sex with (MSM), given their increased risk of infection. However, data on vaccination programmes scarce.AimTo use information recommendations vaccine uptake among MSM in the WHO European Region to guide prevention.MethodsFrom a large pan-European Internet Survey (EMIS-2017), we analysed self-reported hepatitis status by age, education, financial coping, settlement size, outness (disclosure sexual behaviour), migration...
Abstract Background Kyrgyzstan introduced universal hepatitis B childhood vaccination in 1999 to reduce the burden of B. In 2016, aligned with goal controlling WHO European Region, a regional target 0.5% was set for seroprevalence surface antigen (HBsAg) among targeted birth cohorts. We conducted representative nationwide serosurvey assess HBsAg prevalence third-grade school children 2022. Methods sampled numbers proportional population size and stratified sample by region urbanization level...
Abstract In early March 2020, a COVID-19-outbreak occurred in the district of Tirschenreuth, Germany. The outbreak was characterised by rapid increase case numbers and comparatively high crude fatality ratio (CFR; 11%). Until beginning May 1122 cases were reported district. To investigate outbreak, we analysed surveillance other data available at health department, including on living care facilities public measures applied. Furthermore, compared number tests performed Tirschenreuth Germany...
Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for men who have sex with (MSM) in many countries, but information on vaccine coverage scarce. We studied hepatitis programmes and among MSM Europe to guide prevention. From a large (N = 174 209) pan-European survey (EMIS-2010), we used data self-reported vaccination, age, education, settlement size disclosure of the same-sex sexual orientation ('outness'). excluded participants history B. In multilevel (participants, countries) logistic regression...
Background Recent hepatitis A virus outbreaks in Europe affecting men who have sex with (MSM) and ongoing B transmission among MSM underscore the need for viral prevention this population. Aim To describe knowledge associated factors WHO European Region to inform targeted prevention. Methods In Internet Survey (EMIS-2017), basic was defined as correctly identifying at least 4 of 5 statements about vaccination. We described by country. a multilevel logistic regression model, we estimated...
The WHO European Region set targets for the control of hepatitis B through immunization, including prevalence surface antigen (HBsAg) at ≤0.5% in vaccinated cohorts. Republic Moldova implemented universal vaccination since 1995. We conducted a nationwide representative serosurvey to estimate HBsAg seroprevalence children born 2013 validate targets.
Abstract Introduction In the World Health Organization European Region, an estimated 14 million people live with a chronic hepatitis B virus infection (HBV), and 12 are affected by C (HCV). Uzbekistan bears major burden of HBV has one highest HCV prevalence in region. Following presidential decree May 2022, significant funds were allocated to viral (VH) elimination program Uzbekistan. The expands VH testing reach 500,000 annually during 2022–2025 as part strategy that includes provision free...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> In Kyrgyz Republic, it is estimated that 18% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) are undiagnosed, and more than half diagnosed late (CD4 count <350 cells/mm3). For viral hepatitis, before 2023, free testing was only available to PLHIV, which has led a low uptake. A new national programme on the elimination hepatitis infection for years 2023-2027 recognizes need scale up reduce gap in undiagnosed country. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> Our aim identify...
