COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for persons who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant now, or might become in the future, protect them from COVID-19.§ Infants at risk life-threatening complications COVID-19, including acute respiratory failure (1). Evidence other vaccine-preventable diseases suggests that maternal immunization can provide protection infants, especially during high-risk first 6 months of life, through passive transplacental antibody transfer (2). Recent...
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), linked to antecedent severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, is associated with considerable morbidity. Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection or disease 2019 (COVID-19) by vaccination might also decrease MIS-C likelihood.In a multicenter, case-control, public health investigation ages 5-18 years hospitalized from 1 July 2021 7 April 2022, we compared the odds being fully vaccinated (2 doses BNT162b2 vaccine ≥28 days...
Infants aged <6 months are not eligible for COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccination during pregnancy has been associated with protection against infant COVID-19-related hospitalization. The Overcoming Network conducted a case-control study March 9, 2022-May 31, 2023, to evaluate the effectiveness of maternal receipt vaccine dose (vaccine [VE]) hospitalization in infants and subset <3 months. VE was calculated as (1 - adjusted odds ratio) x 100% among all Case-patients (infants hospitalized outside...
Pediatric COVID-19 vaccination is effective in preventing COVID-19-related hospitalization, but duration of protection the original monovalent vaccine during SARS-CoV-2 Omicron predominance merits evaluation, particularly given low coverage with updated vaccines.During December 19, 2021-October 29, 2023, Overcoming Network evaluated effectiveness (VE) ≥2 mRNA doses against hospitalization and critical illness among U.S. children adolescents aged 5-18 years, using a case-control design.Too...

Setting publicly funded healthcare system Population target population women requiring that could be completed using Methods A simulation‐based model including data derived from systematic review local databases used estimate surgical...
Objectives: When incorporating treatment effect estimates derived from a random-effect meta-analysis it is tempting to use the confidence bounds determine potential range of effect. However, prediction intervals reflect technology rather than more narrowly defined average Using case study robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, this investigates impact on cost-utility analysis using clinical effectiveness random-effects meta-analyses presented as and intervals, respectively. Methods: To an...

Current evidence is sufficient to justify a national screening programme, argues <b>Mark Lown,</b> but <b>Patrick Moran</b> thinks there are too many unanswered questions and from randomised trials needed avoid overdiagnosis
