Policies and processes for human papillomavirus vaccination in Latin America and the Caribbean
Objectives. Three highly effective vaccines are available to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and they have been introduced in many countries around the world. This article describes advances and challenges in introducing HPV vaccines in the Expanded Program of Immunization (EPI) of countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Methods. We reviewed national and regional sources of information to identify LAC countries with and …
Global, regional, and national prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults during 1980–2013
Medical abortion and manual vacuum aspiration for legal abortion protect women's health and reduce costs to the health system
The majority of abortions in Colombia continue to take place outside the formal health system under a range of conditions, with the majority of women obtaining misoprostol from a thriving black market for the drug and self-administering the medication. We conducted a cost analysis to compare the costs to the health system of three approaches to the provision of abortion care in Colombia: post-abortion care for complications of unsafe abortions, a…
Costo-efectividad de la vacunación contra influenza pandémica en mujeres embarazadas en Colombia
Vaccinating pregnant women against pandemic influenza is cost-effective in a scenario with a high mortality rate. The existing evidence that pregnant women are at increased risk of complications and that the vaccine is safe would justify its use in pregnant women
Mujer, fertilidad y economía
En el presente artículo se muestran los resultados de una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica sobre la relación entre fertilidad y economía, que explora los marcos teóricos y empíricos desarrollados en los últimos cincuenta años, en especial, del enfoque clásico (Becker, Easterling) y del heterodoxo (Bongaarts, Iannaccone, Lehrer). La búsqueda de artículos científicos en revistas de economía, sociología y demografía indexadas en base…
Relación costo-efectividad de la vacuna contra Haemophilus influenzae tipo b en niños menores de dos años de edad en Colombia
Having an adequate Hib vaccination program in Colombia could prevent around 25,000 cases of invasive disease per year, representing a cost savings of at least 15 million US$ annually. Furthermore, the program could prevent some 700 deaths per year and save 44,054 years of life per year
Costos económicos de las neumonías en niños menores de 2 años de edad, en Colombia
The study found differences in the direct costs of care between the presumably bacterial cases and the presumably viral ones. The study results also gave an approximation of the indirect costs to the patients' families caused by the pneumonias. The differences found in the direct costs also indicate that X-ray diagnosis is useful for differentiating between viral and bacterial pneumonia. Few studies in Latin America have assessed the economic cos…
