El número reproductivo básico ( R 0 )
Evaluamos el uso en la salud pública del número reproductivo básico (R 0 ), por el cual se estima la velocidad con que una enfermedad puede propagarse en una población. Estas estimaciones son de gran interés en el campo de la salud pública como quedó de manifiesto en ocasión de la pandemia del 2009 por el virus gripal A (H1N1). Revisamos los métodos usados comúnmente para estimar el R 0 , examinamos su utilidad práctica y determinamos la forma en…
Unraveling R 0
We assessed public health use of R 0 , the basic reproduction number, which estimates the speed at which a disease is capable of spreading in a population. These estimates are of great public health interest, as evidenced during the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus pandemic. We reviewed methods commonly used to estimate R 0 , examined their practical utility, and assessed how estimates of this epidemiological parameter can inform mitigation strategy…
Estimating Influenza-Associated Deaths in the United States
Most estimates of US deaths associated with influenza circulation have been similar despite the use of different approaches. However, a recently published estimate suggested that previous estimates substantially overestimated deaths associated with influenza, and concluded that substantial numbers of deaths during a future pandemic could be prevented because of improvements in medical care. We reviewed the data sources and methods used to estimat…
Mortality Associated With Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus in the United States
CONTEXT: Influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Statistical methods used to estimate deaths in the United States attributable to influenza have not accounted for RSV circulation. OBJECTIVE: To develop a statistical model using national mortality and viral surveillance data to estimate annual influenza- and RSV-associated deaths in the United States, by age group, virus, and influenza type and su…
Attitudes of healthcare workers in U.S. hospitals regarding smallpox vaccination
The success of smallpox vaccination efforts will ultimately depend on the relative weight in people's minds of the risk of vaccine adverse events compared with the risk of being exposed to the disease. Although more than half of the respondents thought the likelihood of a bioterrorist smallpox attack was intermediate or high, less than 10% of the group slated for vaccination has actually accepted it at this time. Unless new information about the …
Development and Estimation of a Pediatric Chronic Disease Score Using Automated Pharmacy Data
BACKGROUND: Although risk assessment models for specific adult populations such as the elderly have been developed, little work has focused on developing pediatric-specific models. The lack of pediatric models may result in incorrect estimates of relative disease severity among children, in reduced reimbursement for health plans and providers, and in inadequate health care for chronically ill children. OBJECTIVES: To develop and to evaluate a ped…
Prevalence of Low Birth Weight among Hispanic Infants with United States-born and Foreign-born Mothers
Although Hispanics are a poorly educated and medically underserved minority, the incidence of low birth weight (less than 2,500 g) Hispanic infants is similar to that of non-Hispanic whites. The authors used 1982-1983 Illinois vital records and 1980 US census income data to determine the contribution of maternal nativity and place of residence to this epidemiologic paradox. The proportion of low birth weight Hispanic (n = 22,892) infants ranged f…
