    (2023) SOAREZ, Patricia Coelho de; ROZMANA, Luciana Martins; FONSECA, Taiane Siraisi; BORSARI, Pietro Rodrigo; PERCIO, Jadher; BARRERA, Lely Stella Guzman; SARTORI, Ana Marli Christovam
    Objectives: To identify the main cost components included in the economic evaivations of measles outbreaks, their items and cost drivers, and evaluate the quality of costing methodology, analyzing the key features that may affect the validity of these studies in countries with different income leveis Methods: We systematically searched multiple databases EMBASE, MEDLINE (via PubMed), Biblioteca Virtual em Saude do Ministerio da Saude (BVS MS), NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED) and NHS Health Technology Assessment (NHS HTA) (via The Centre for Reviews and Dissemination Library - CRD), and EconLit, SCOPUS, and Web of Science, selecting cost analysis and cost of illness studies (COI) of measles outbreaks. Two independent reviewers screened articles for relevance and extracted the data. The quality of costing methods was assessed using a guide to critical evaluation of COI studies. We performed a qualitative narrative synthesis. Results: Twenty-two studies were reviewed. Most studies evaluated outbreaks that occurred from 2011 to 2013 and 2017 to 2019. Total costs varied from $40,147 to $39.3 million. Per case cost varied from $168 to $49,439. The main drivers of measles outbreak costs were outbreak response, personnel, and productivity losses. Most studies (20/22) did not report the costing methodology adonted, the degree of disaggregation used in the identification and measurement of resource and costs components and the method for the valuation of resource and cost components. Conclusions: The quality of the costing methodology, its transparency and accuracy are essential to the validity of these studies results and their potential use to allocate public health resources in the most efficient manner and to inform measles outbreak control strategies, with rapid and effective response.

    Pre-vaccination screening strategies for the use of the CYD-TDV dengue vaccine: A meeting report
    (2019) WILDER-SMITH, A.; SMITH, P. G.; LUO, R.; KELLY-CIRINO, C.; CURRY, D.; LARSON, H.; DURBIN, A.; CHU, M.; THARMAPHORNPILAS, P.; NG, L. C.; SARTORI, A. M. C.; LUNA, E. J. A.; GUBLERJ, D. J.; ESPANA, G.; YOON, I. K.; FLASCHE, S.
    The first licensed dengue vaccine, CYD-TDV (Dengvaxia) is efficacious in seropositive individuals, but increases the risk for severe dengue in seronegative persons about two years after administration of the first dose. For countries considering the introduction of Dengvaxia, WHO recommends a pre-vaccination screening strategy whereby only persons with evidence of a past dengue infection would be vaccinated. Policy-makers need to consider the risk-benefit of vaccination strategies based on such screening tests, the optimal age to introduce the vaccine, communication and implementation strategies. To address these questions, the Global Dengue and Aedes-transmitted diseases Consortium (GDAC) organized a 3-day workshop in January 2019 with country representatives from Asia and Latin America. The meeting discussions highlighted many challenges in introducing Dengvaxia, in terms of screening test characteristics, costs of such tests combined with a 3-dose schedule, logistics, achieving high coverage rates, vaccine confidence and communication; more challenges than for any other vaccine introduction programme. A screening test would require a high specificity to minimize individual risk, and at the same time high sensitivity to maximize individual and population benefit. The underlying seroprevalence dependent positive predictive value is the best indicator for an acceptable safety profile of a pre-vaccination screening strategy. The working groups discussed many possible implementation strategies. Addressing the bottlenecks in school-based vaccine introduction for Dengvaxia will also benefit other vaccines such as HPV and booster doses for tetanus and pertussis. Levels of public trust are highly variable and context specific, and understanding of population perceptions and concerns is essential to tailor interventions, monitor and mitigate risks.

    Estimating health service utilization for treatment of pneumococcal disease: The case of Brazil
    (2013) SARTORI, A. M. C.; NOVAES, C. G.; SOAREZ, P. C. de; TOSCANO, C. M.; NOVAES, H. M. D.
    Background: Health service utilization (HSU) is an essential component of economic evaluations of health initiatives. Defining HSU for cases of pneumococcal disease (PD) is particularly complex considering the varying clinical manifestations and diverse severity. Objective: We describe the process of developing estimates of HSU for PD as part of an economic evaluation of the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in Brazil. Methods: Nationwide inpatient and outpatient HSU by children under-5 years with meningitis (PM), sepsis (PS), non-meningitis non-sepsis invasive PD (NMNS), pneumonia, and acute otitis media (AOM) was estimated. We assumed that all cases of invasive PD (PM, PS, and NMNS) required hospitalization. The study perspective was the health system, including both the public and private sectors. Data sources were obtained from national health information systems, including the Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) and the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN); surveys; and community-based and health care facility-based studies. Results: We estimated hospitalization rates of 7.69 per 100,000 children under-5 years for PM (21.4 for children <1 years of age and 4.3 for children aged 1-4 years), 5.89 for PS (20.94 and 2.17), and 4.01 for NMNS (5.5 and 3.64) in 2004, with an overall hospitalization rate of 17.59 for all invasive PD (47.27 and 10.11). The estimated incidence rate of all-cause pneumonia was 93.4 per 1000 children under-5 (142.8 for children <1 years of age and 81.2 for children aged 1-4 years), considering both hospital and outpatient care. Discussion: Secondary data derived from health information systems and the available literature enabled the development of national HSU estimates for PD in Brazil. Estimating HSU for noninvasive disease was challenging, particularly in the case of outpatient care, for which secondary data are scarce. Information for the private sector is lacking in Brazil, but estimates were possible with data from the public sector and national population surveys.

    Cost-effectiveness analysis of universal maternal immunization with tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine in Brazil
    (2016) SARTORI, Ana Marli Christovam; SOAREZ, Patricia Coelho de; FERNANDES, Eder Gatti; GRYNINGER, Ligia Castellon Figueiredo; VISCONDI, Juliana Yukari Kodaira; NOVAES, Hillegonda Maria Dutilh
    Background: Pertussis incidence has increased significantly in Brazil since 2011, despite high coverage of whole-cell pertussis containing vaccines in childhood. Infants <4 months are most affected. This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of introducing universal maternal vaccination with tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) into the National Immunization Program in Brazil. Methods: Economic evaluation using a decision tree model comparing two strategies: (1) universal vaccination with one dose of Tdap in the third trimester of pregnancy and (2) current practice (no pertussis maternal vaccination), from the perspective of the health system and society. An annual cohort of newborns representing the number of vaccinated pregnant women were followed for one year. Vaccine efficacy were based on literature review. Epidemiological, healthcare resource utilization and cost estimates were based on local data retrieved from Brazilian Health Information Systems. Costs of epidemiological investigation and treatment of contacts of cases were included in the analysis. No discount rate was applied to costs and benefits, as the temporal horizon was one year. Primary outcome was cost per life year saved (LYS). Univariate and best- and worst-case scenarios sensitivity analysis were performed. Results: Maternal vaccination of one annual cohort, with vaccine effectiveness of 78%, and vaccine cost of USD$12.39 per dose, would avoid 661 cases and 24 infant deaths of pertussis, save 1800 years of life and cost USD$28,942,808 and USD$29,002,947, respectively, from the health system and societal perspective. The universal immunization would result in ICERs of USD$15,608 and USD$15,590 per LYS, from the health system and societal perspective, respectively. In sensitivity analysis, the ICER was most sensitive to discounting of life years saved, variation in case-fatality, disease incidence, vaccine cost, and vaccine effectiveness. Conclusion: The results indicate that universal maternal immunization with Tdap is a cost-effective intervention for preventing pertussis cases and deaths in infants in Brazil.

    Active assessment of adverse events following yellow fever vaccination of persons aged 60 years and more
    (2013) MIYAJI, Karina Takesaki; LUIZ, Andre Machado; LARA, Amanda Nazareth; CHAVES, Tania do Socorro Souza; PIORELLI, Roberta de Oliveira; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; SARTORI, Ana Marli Christovam
    Introduction: Older age has been associated to serious adverse events (AE) following yellow fever (YF) vaccination in passive surveillance studies, but few prospective studies involving seniors have been published. Results: Nine hundred and six persons were evaluated; 78 were not vaccinated and 828 received the vaccine; 700 (84.7%) were interviewed after vaccination: 593 (84.7%) did not report any symptoms or signs following YF vaccine; 107 (15.3%) reported at least one AE temporally associated to YF vaccination: 97 (13.9%) had systemic AE and 17 (2.4%) reported AE at the injection site (7 had both systemic and local AE). Data regarding previous vaccination was available for 655 subjects. Statistically significant higher rates of systemic AE were observed among subjects who received the first YF vaccination (17.5%) in comparison to persons who had been previously vaccinated (9.5%). Methods: This observational prospective study aimed to describe AE following YF vaccination in persons aged >= 60 y. From March 2009 to April 2010, seniors who sought YF vaccination at a reference Immunization Center in Sao Paulo city, Brazil, were included. Demographic and clinical data, previous YF vaccination, travel destination and the final decision regarding YF vaccination or not were collected from standardized medical records. Active AE assessment was done through telephone or electronic mail interview performed approximately 14 d after immunization. Conclusion: Most persons aged >= 60 y may be safely vaccinated against YF. Before vaccination, they must be carefully screened for conditions associated to altered immunocompetence and for risk of exposure to YF.

    Immunogenicity, long term protection and safety of subcutaneous administration of hepatitis A vaccine in patients with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders: A randomized study
    (2020) NAKASONE, Mayumi; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; SARTORI, Ana Marli Chritovam; SANDOVAL, Eliane Partite Nobre; VILLACA, Paula Ribeiro; D'AMICO, Elbio Antonio; CARNEIRO, Jorge David Aivazoglou
    Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for all individuals with hemophilia, although patients with bleeding disorders should avoid intramuscular (IM) injections. To date, only few studies showed subcutaneous (SC) route immunogenicity is comparable with the IM route. Therefore, this randomized study compared immunogenicity, long term protection and safety of hepatitis A vaccine administered by SC route with the IM route in 78 children and adults with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. Thirty-eight patients had serology performed after first vaccine dose, determining seroconversion rates of 83.3% and 90.0% for the SC and the IM group, respectively (p = 0.5). Median IgG CO/OD value for the SC group was almost the double compared with the IM group (4.4 vs 2.6, p = 0.2). After second vaccine dose, seroconversion rates for the SC group was 97.5% and for the IM group was 97.4% (p = 1.0). Of the two patients who did not have seroconversion, interval between vaccine dose and serology was only one and two days for the SC and the IM group, respectively and in the following routine antibody dosage they presented seroconversion (100% for both groups). Median IgG CO/OD value for the SC group was greater than the IM group (72.5 vs. 58.0, p = 0.2). In a median of nine years after second vaccine dose, median IgG S/CO value for the SC group was slightly greater than the IM group (7.6 vs. 7.4, p = 0.8). There were no serious adverse events in both groups. Five (12.5%) patients of the SC group and seven (18.4%) of the IM group presented adverse events (p = 0.5). Twice as many patients of the IM group had clotting factor concentrates need for adverse events (15.8% vs. 7.5%, p = 0.3). Therefore, hepatitis A vaccine administered subcutaneously is as immunogenic, long term protective and even safer than the intramuscular route.

    Impact of polio vaccines (oral polio vaccine-OPV or inactivated polio vaccine-IPV) on rotavirus vaccine-associated intussusception
    (2022) RODRIGUES, Camila Cristina Martini; FERNANDES, Eder Gatti; SANTOS, Paulo Piva dos; EGUTI, Renato Yoshio; PEDROSO-DE-LIMA, Antonio Carlos; SILVA, Gisela Tunes da; SARTORI, Ana Marli Christovam
    Although safe, rotavirus vaccines have been associated with increased intussusception risk. In Brazil, after the oral human rotavirus vaccine (OHRV) introduction in the childhood immunization, in 2006, increased intussusception risk was identified after the second OHRV dose, whereas in other countries, higher risk was associated to the first vaccine dose. It was hypothesized that the concomitant use of oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) in Brazil might explain this difference. In 2012, the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) was adopted in the first two doses of Brazilian childhood immunization schedule, creating an opportunity to study the subject. Our objective was analyzing the impact of polio vaccines on rotavirus-associated intussusception. We used surveillance data on intussusception in infants living in Sao Paulo State. Two periods were considered: an OPV-period (March 2006 to June 2012) and an IPV-period (October 2012 to December 2017). The period from June to September 2012 were considered as transition. Self-controlled case series analysis with event-dependent exposure was performed, considering two risk periods (7 and 21 days post-vaccination). We identified 325 intussusception cases in infants reported to the surveillance systems during the study period. The statistical analysis included 221 cases that occurred within 60 days after vaccination. Overall, a higher intussusception risk was observed in the first week after vaccination for both the first (Relative Incidence [RI] = 4.3, 95%CI 2.8-6.5, p < .001) and second vaccine doses (RI = 4.2, 95%CI 2.7-6.4; p < .001). There were no statistically significant differences in intussusception risk according to the rotavirus vaccine dose and the polio vaccine (OPV or IPV) administered concomitantly.

    A systematic review of adult tetanus-diphtheria-acellular (Tdap) coverage among healthcare workers
    (2019) RANDI, Bruno A.; SEJAS, Odeli Nicole Encinas; MIYAJI, Karina T.; INFANTE, Vanessa; LARA, Amanda N.; IBRAHIM, Karim Y.; LOPES, Marta H.; SARTORI, Ana Marli C.
    During the last decades pertussis incidence raised globally. Several vaccination strategies targeting adults to reduce pertussis among young infants have been proposed, including vaccination of healthcare workers (HCWs). The aim of this study was to analyse, by performing a systematic review of literature, published papers that evaluated Tdap coverage among HCWs, variables associated with vaccine uptake and efforts implemented to raise vaccination rates. We searched the MedLine, Embase, SCOPUS, LILACS, Web of Science and Cochrane for full-text studies that evaluated Tdap coverage in HCW. Two independent reviewers screened the articles and extracted the data. Twenty-eight studies published from 2009 to 2018 were reviewed. Most studies were conducted in the USA. Initial Tdap coverage varied from 6.1% to 63.9%. USA and France are the only two countries with studies evaluating Tdap coverage within HCWs using national data. In the USA, Tdap coverage in HCWs raised from 6.1% to 45.1% from 2007 to 2015. In the analysis of French national data, a Tdap coverage of 63.9% was observed. Five studies used interventions to raise Tdap coverage in HCWs. Two intervention studies implemented mandatory vaccination and three used educational strategies. All of them achieved coverages over 86%. Only eleven studies analysed the association of Tdap vaccination with variables of interest. Previous immunization with other vaccines recommended for HCWs (like influenza, hepatitis B and MMR) was positively associated with Tdap uptake in four studies. In conclusion, overall Tdap coverage among HCWs is low, but seems to increase over the years after the vaccine introduction and with implementation of interventions to increase coverage.

    An Open-label Randomized Controlled Parallel-group Pilot Study Comparing the Immunogenicity of a Standard-, Double-, and Booster-dose Regimens of the 2014 Seasonal Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine in Kidney Transplant Recipients
    (2022) ODONGO, Fatuma Catherine Atieno; BRAGA, Patricia Emilia; PALACIOS, Ricardo; MIRAGLIA, Joao Luiz; SARTORI, Ana Marli Christovam; IBRAHIM, Karim Yaqub; LOPES, Marta Heloisa; CAIAFFA-FILHO, Helio Hehl; TIMENETSKY, Maria do Carmo Sampaio Tavares; AGENA, Fabiana; AZEVEDO, Luiz Sergio Fonseca de; DAVID-NETO, Elias; PRECIOSO, Alexander Roberto; PIERROTTI, Ligia Camera
    Background. Immunogenicity of influenza vaccine in transplant recipients is suboptimal and alternative vaccination regimens are necessary. Methods. We compared the immunogenicity of a standard-dose trivalent inactivated influenza vaccination (SDTIIV), double-dose trivalent inactivated influenza vaccination (DDTIIV), and booster-dose trivalent inactivated influenza vaccination (BDTIIV) of the 2014 seasonal trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in kidney transplant recipients. We randomized 176 participants to SDTIIV (59), DDTIIV (59), and BDTIIV regimens (58). Antibody titers were determined by hemagglutination inhibition at enrollment and 21 d postvaccination. Seroprotection rates (SPRs), seroconversion rates (SCRs), and geometric mean ratios (GMRs) were analyzed separately for participants with low (<1:40) and high (>= 1:40) prevaccination antibody titers. Results. Vaccination was confirmed for 172 participants. Immunogenicity analysis was done for 149 participants who provided postvaccination blood samples. In the subgroup with high prevaccination antibody titers, all vaccination regimens induced SPR > 70% to all antigens, but SCR and GMR were below the recommendations. In the subgroup with low prevaccination antibody titers, DDTIIV and BDTIIV regimens induced adequate SCR > 40% and GMR > 2.5 for all antigens, whereas SDTIIV achieved the same outcomes only for influenza B. SPRs were >70% only after DDTIIV (A/H1N1-77.8%) and BDTIIV (A/H3N2-77.8%). BDTIIV regimen independently increased seroprotection to A/H1N1 (PR = 2.58; P = 0.021) and A/H3N2 (PR = 2.21; P = 0.004), whereas DDTIIV independently increased seroprotection to A/H1N1 (PR = 2.59; P = 0.021). Conclusions. Our results suggest that DDTIIV and BDTIIV regimens are more immunogenic than SDTIIV, indicating the need for head-to-head multicenter clinical trials to further evaluate their efficacy.

    Cost-effectiveness analysis of universal adult immunization with tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) versus current practice in Brazil
    (2020) FERNANDES, Eder Gatti; SARTORI, Ana Marli Christovam; SOAREZ, Patricia Coelho de; AMAKU, Marcos; AZEVEDO NETO, Raymundo Soares de; NOVAES, Hillegonda Maria Dutilh
    Background: A pertussis outbreak occurred in Brazil from 2011 to 2014, despite high coverage of whole-cell pertussis containing vaccines in early childhood. Infants were the most affected. This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of introducing universal adult vaccination with Tdap into the National Immunization Program in Brazil. Methods: Economic evaluation using a dynamic model to compare two strategies: (1) universal vaccination with single dose of Tdap at 20 years of age and (2) current practice (only pregnant women pertussis vaccination). The health system perspective was adopted. Temporal horizon was 10 years. Discount rate of 5% was applied to costs and benefits. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was obtained from a population-based observational study. Epidemiological, resource utilization and cost estimates were obtained from the Brazilian Health Information Systems. The primary outcome was cost per life year saved (LYS), based on life expectancy at birth in Brazil in 2015. Univariate and multivariate sensitivity analysis were performed. Results: Adult vaccination with VE of 82.6% and coverage of 40%, at price of US$7.01 per dose, and assuming herd protection would avoid 167 infant deaths by pertussis, saving 12,325 years of life and costing a total of US$105495891.61, from the health system perspective. The universal immunization would result in ICER of US$8459.13. The results were highly sensitive to disease incidence. Conclusions: The results suggest that universal adult vaccination with Tdap would not be a cost-effective intervention for preventing pertussis cases and deaths in infants in Brazil.
