The impact of quality-adjusted life years on evaluating Covid-19 mitigation strategies
When calculating the impact of measures to mitigate disease spread in terms of life years lost due to COVID-19 mortality, we highlight the impact of COVID-19 on the health-related quality of life of survivors. Our study underscores that disease-related morbidity could constitute a significant part of the overall health burden. Our quantitative findings depend on the specific setup of the interventions under review, which is open to debate or shou…
The direct disease burden of Covid-19 in Belgium in 2020 and 2021
COVID-19 had a substantial impact on population health in Belgium, especially in 2020, when COVID-19 would have been the main cause of disease burden if all other causes had maintained their 2019 level
Longitudinal social contact data analysis
CoMix data highlights the variability of contact patterns across age groups and time, revealing the mechanisms governing the spread/transmission of COVID-19/airborne diseases in the population. Although such longitudinal contact surveys are prone to the under-reporting due to participant fatigue and drop-out, we showed that these factors can be identified and corrected using NBI GAMLSS. This information can be used to improve the design of simila…
Effectiveness of contact tracing for Covid-19 in Belgium
Contact tracing and investigation can prevent infectious disease transmission when carried out promptly. Data obtained from contact tracing also provides unique information on transmission dynamics that can be useful for policy making. The proportion of secondary infections arising from index cases that were previously identified as a close contact, hence “known index cases”, has been indicated by ECDC as a key performance indicator for contact t…
Preferential differences in vaccination decision-making for oneself or one’s child in The Netherlands
Vaccine effectiveness and disease severity are key attributes in vaccination decision-making for adults making a decision for themselves and for parents who decide for their children. Hence, public information campaigns for both adult and child vaccination should primarily focus on these two attributes. In addition, reinforcing social norms may be considered
