From 15 Minutes to 15 Seconds
The Delta variant became dominant during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic due to its competitive advantage, the ability to reduce close contact duration from minutes to seconds, and, consequently, increase the risk of exposure to COVID-19. We used game theory to model the most effective public health response to this new threat. We compared the absolute and relative risk of exposure to COVID-19 before and after the emergence of the Delta …
Risk of Exposure to Covid-19
COVID-19 spreads mainly among people who are in close contact. Policymakers mostly resorted to normative measures to limit close contacts and impose social distancing. Our study aimed to estimate the risk of exposure to COVID-19 by location and activity in crowded metropolitan areas. The risk of exposure to COVID-19 was defined as the product of crowding (people within a six feet distance) and exposure duration (fraction of 15 min). Our epidemiol…
Public–private contribution to biopharmaceutical discoveries
Basic research creates new knowledge that fuels technological advances. However, budgetary concerns and escalating R&D prices are challenging organizations to show returns from investments in scientific research. Few attempts are made to analyse research that leads to pharmaceutical innovation. In particular, the financial contribution of public and private organizations to the riskiest stage of biomedical discovery has remained unclear and parti…
Transparency or Proper Study Valuation Procedures Missed
To the Editor: We wish to thank the Editor for giving us the opportunity to think about and resolve a few potential issues with our paper. Garattini and colleagues have questioned the meaningfulness of the evidence used to inform some of the crucial parameter used in our model. This is because of a misalignment in the reference list, as a result of which, Table 1 in the paper points to the wrong references. We have fixed this and present the corr…
Novel Health Economic Evaluation of a Vaccination Strategy to Prevent HPV-related Diseases
BACKGROUND: The development of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related diseases is not understood perfectly and uncertainties associated with commonly utilized probabilistic models must be considered. The study assessed the cost-effectiveness of a quadrivalent-based multicohort HPV vaccination strategy within a Bayesian framework. METHODS: A full Bayesian multicohort Markov model was used, in which all unknown quantities were associated with suitable …
