<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> The global spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues in several jurisdictions, causing substantial strain to health care systems. purpose our study was predict the effect COVID-19 pandemic on patient outcomes and use hospital resources Ontario, Canada. <h3>METHODS:</h3> We developed an individual-level simulation model flow patients with through system Ontario. simulated different combined scenarios epidemic trajectory capacity. Our included number who...

Rio de Janeiro in Brazil will host the Summer Olympic Games 2016. About 400,000 non-immune foreign tourists are expected to attend games. As is country with highest number of dengue cases worldwide, concern about risk for travelers justified. A mathematical model calculate developing attending 2016 proposed. system differential equation models spread amongst resident population and a stochastic approximation used assess tourists. Historical reported time series years 2000-2015 find out...
Resurgent COVID-19 cases have resulted in the reinstitution of nonpharmaceutical interventions, including school closures, which can adverse effects on families. Understanding associations closures with number incident and cumulative is critical for decision-making.To estimate association schools being open or closed compared community-based interventions.This decision analytical modelling study developed an agent-based transmission model using a synthetic population 1 000 individuals based...
Brazil will host the FIFA World Cup™, biggest single-event competition in world, from June 12-July 13 2014 12 cities. This event draw an estimated 600,000 international visitors. is endemic for dengue. Hence, attendees of are theoretically at risk We calculated dengue acquisition to non-immune travellers Brazil, depending on football match schedules, considering locations and dates such matches July 2014. average per-capita expected number cases each host-city game schedule chosen based...
Abstract Background Health Canada recently authorized the RSVpreF pregnancy vaccine and nirsevimab to protect infants against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease. Objective Assess cost-effectiveness of programs in preventing RSV disease infants, compared a palivizumab program. Methods We used static cohort model Canadian birth during their first season estimate sequential incremental ratios (ICERs) 2023 dollars per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) for nine strategies implemented over...
In Ontario on March 16, 2020, a directive was issued to all acute care hospitals halt nonessential procedures in anticipation of potential surge COVID-19 patients. This included scheduled outpatient cardiac surgical and interventional that required the use intensive units, ventilators, skilled critical personnel, given these would draw from same pool resources for critically ill We adapted Resource Estimator (CORE) decision analytic model by adding component determine impact various policy...
<h3>Background:</h3> Jurisdictions worldwide ramped down ophthalmic surgeries to mitigate the effects of COVID-19, creating a global surgical backlog. We sought predict long-term impact COVID-19 on timely delivery non-emergent ophthalmology sub-specialty care in Ontario. <h3>Methods:</h3> This is microsimulation modelling study. used provincial population-based administrative data from Wait Time Information System database Ontario for January 2019 May 2021 and facility-level March 2018...
Background: Vaccination has been a key part of Canada's coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic response.Although the clinical benefits vaccination are clear, an understanding population-level relative to programmatic costs is value.The objective this article quantify economic impact COVID-19 in Canadian population between December 2020 and March 2022.Methods: We conducted model-based cost-benefit analysis program.We used epidemiological model estimate number symptomatic cases,...
Introduction: continuous assessment of healthcare resources during the COVID-19 pandemic will help in proper planning and to prevent an overwhelming Nigerian system. In this study, we aim predict effect on hospital Nigeria.
Background: Valle del Cauca is the region with fourth-highest number of COVID-19 cases in Colombia (>50,000 on September 7, 2020). Due to lack anti-COVID-19 therapies, decision-makers require timely and accurate data estimate incidence disease availability hospital resources contain pandemic.
 Methods: We adapted an existing model local context forecast resource use assuming different scenarios: (1) implementation quarantine from 1st October 15th (average daily growth rate 2%); (2-3)...
Abstract Background Predicting potential healthcare resource use under different scenarios will help to prepare the system for a surge in COVID-19 patients. In this study, we aim predict effect of on hospital resources Nigeria. Method We adopted previously published discrete-time, individual-level, health-state transition model symptomatic patients Nigerian and epidemiology. simulated combined epidemic trajectories acute care capacity. Primary outcomes included expected cumulative number...
Understanding resource use for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is critical. We conducted a descriptive analysis using public health data to describe age- and sex-specific acute care use, length of stay (LOS) mortality associated with COVID-19.
Abstract Background Dual dose SARS-CoV-2 vaccines demonstrate high efficacy and will be critical in public health efforts to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic its consequences; however, many jurisdictions face very constrained vaccine supply. We examined impacts of extending interval between two doses mRNA Canada order inform deliberations Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization. Methods developed an age-stratified, deterministic, compartmental model transmission disease reproduce...
In addition to instituting public health measures for COVID-19, managing healthcare resources is important outcomes. The experiences in Italy and New York have shown that personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages can cause increased morbidity mortality. We demonstrate a method predict PPE demand across care system.
