Dexamethasone can reduce mortality in hospitalised COVID-19 patients needing oxygen and ventilation by 18% 36%, respectively. Here, we estimate the potential number of lives saved life years gained if this treatment were to be rolled out UK globally, as well cost-effectiveness implementing intervention. Assuming SARS-CoV-2 exposure levels 5% 15%, that, for UK, approximately 12,000 (4,250 - 27,000) could between July December 2020. that dexamethasone has a similar effect size settings where...
<ns4:p>The Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO, <ns4:underline>https://www.iddo.org</ns4:underline>) has launched a clinical data platform for the collation, curation, standardisation and reuse of individual participant (IPD) on treatments two most globally important neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), schistosomiasis (SCH) soil-transmitted helminthiases (STHs). This initiative aims to harness power data-sharing by facilitating collaborative joint analyses pooled datasets generate...

Abstract Objectives In December 2020, an unprecedented vaccination programme to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic was initiated worldwide. However, vaccine provision is currently insufficient for most countries vaccinate their entire eligible population, so it essential develop efficient strategies. disease severity and mortality vary by age, therefore age-dependent strategies must be developed. Study design/Methods Here, we use SIERS (susceptible–infected–exposed–recovered–susceptible)...
