Health impact and cost-effectiveness of Covid-19 booster vaccination strategies in the early post-Omicron era
INTRODUCTION: Following widespread exposure to Omicron variants, SARS-CoV-2 has transitioned to endemic circulation. Populations now have diverse infection and vaccination histories, resulting in heterogeneous immune landscapes. Careful consideration of the value of ongoing vaccination is required through the post-Omicron phase of COVID-19 management to minimise disease burden. We demonstrate the utility of a modelling approach to address this qu…
Costs of primary healthcare presentations and hospital admissions for scabies and related skin infections in Fiji, 2018–2019
Scabies and related bacterial skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are highly prevalent in many tropical, low- and middle-income settings. These skin conditions contribute to higher healthcare costs and burdens on healthcare systems. The Big Skin Health Intervention Fiji Trial (“Big SHIFT”) carried out surveillance for scabies and SSTIs from July 2018 to June 2019 in the Northern Division of Fiji, an area with high prevalence of scabies, prior…
The total health gains and cost savings of eradicating cold housing in Australia
Association of Simulated Covid-19 Policy Responses for Social Restrictions and Lockdowns With Health-Adjusted Life-Years and Costs in Victoria, Australia
In this simulation modeling economic evaluation of estimated SARS-CoV-infection rates, time under 5 stages of restrictions, HALYs, health expenditure, and GDP losses in Victoria, Australia, an elimination strategy was associated with the least health losses and usually the fewest GDP losses
