Controlling Campylabacter in the Chicken Meat Chain: A Cost-Utility Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mangen,   Marie-Josee J.; Havelaar,   Arie H.; Nauta,   Maarten J.; de Koeijer,   Aline A.; de Wit,   G. Ardine.
The aim of this study was the estimation of cost-utility of interventions to control Campylobacter contamination of broiler meat. The relative risk, the intervention costs, the disease burden (expressed in DALYs) and the costs-of-illness for the various interventions were necessary inputs for the cost-utility analysis. The cost-utility is expressed in net costs per reduced DALY. The most cost-effective interventions are: reduction of faeces leakage in the slaughter line and decontamination of the carcass by dipping in a chemical solution. Phage therapy might be another cost-effective intervention, depending on assumed costs/chicken. Irradiation is the most efficient intervention, but the least cost-effective.

Estimating the Costs and the Disease Burden Associated With Campylobacter Infections and Sequelae in the Netherlands

Autores: Mangen,   Marie-Josee J.; Havelaar,   Arie H.; de Wit,   G. Ardine; Bernsen,   Rob A.J.A.M.; van Koningsveld,   Rinske.
Campylobacter infections pose an important public health problem in the Netherlands. Approximately 79,000 persons per year are estimated to experience symptoms of acute gastroenteritis.  Further annually some 1400 ReA cases, 60 GBS cases and 11 IBD cases are associated with a previous Campylobacter infection. Using a stochastic simulation model the disease burden and the cost-of-illness of Campylobacter infections and its sequelae were estimated. Estimates of the Campylobacter-associated disease burden and costs-of-illness were 1185 DALYs (90% C.I. 693 - 1845 DALYs) per year and some 21 million E (90% C.I. 10 - 38 million E) per year respectively.

Respiratory syncytial virus causes more hospitalizations and deaths in equatorial Brazil than influenza (including during the 2009 pandemic)
Provedor de dados: 42
Autores: ALONSO,WLADIMIR J.; TAMERIUS,JAMES; FREITAS,ANDRÉ R.R.
Abstract  Despite numerous studies evaluating influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), there is still a lack of knowledge about them, especially in tropical countries. We compared the relative importance of respiratory viruses by examining their spatiotemporal patterns, age-specific hospitalization data and mortality data for 2007-2012 obtained from official sources. The data were aggregated into “respiratory infection seasonal zones” formed combining states that had similar seasonal patterns of pneumonia and influenza (P&amp;I). Equatorial-North where P&amp;I peaks in the middle of the year, Equatorial-South where P&amp;I peaks in the first semester and coincides with the rainy-season, Subtropical where P&amp;I peaks are clearly concentrated in...

Background: Hepatitis C virus infection is a major cause of cirrhosis; hepatocellular carcinoma; and liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to estimate hepatitis C virus disease progression and the burden of disease from a nationwide perspective.Methods: Using a model developed to forecast hepatitis C virus disease progression and the number of cases at each stage of liver disease; hepatitis C virus-infected population and associated disease progression in Brazil were quantiﬁed. The impact of two different strategies was compared: higher sustained virological response and treatment eligibility rates (1) or higher diagnosis and treatment rates associated with increased sustained virological response rates (2).Results: The number of infected...
