Background. Individuals who are immunocompromised (IC) due to disease or therapy are at increased risk of herpes zoster (HZ), with HZ cases in IC populations also resulting in increased health care resource use and costs as compared with the immunocompetent population. This study assesses the cost-effectiveness of recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) versus no vaccine for the prevention of HZ in IC adults aged ≥ 18 years in the United States (US). Methods. A Markov model with a one-year cycle length was developed to follow a hypothetical cohort of one million IC individuals for a 30-year time horizon. The model estimates …

Introduction / Background / Significance: Immunocompromised (IC) populations diagnosed with cancer are at increased risk for herpes zoster (HZ) due to their underlying disease and/or therapy. This risk is highest among individuals receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) to treat multiple myeloma, lymphomas, or other diseases. HZ is characterized by a painful vesicular rash. IC populations with HZ are also at increased risk of developing HZ-related complications such as postherpetic neuralgia, a persistent pain that can last for months or years. This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) versus no vaccine for the prevention of HZ in …

Background and Objectives: Although countries around the world have been combatting the same COVID-19 pandemic over the last year, the triage approach taken by various Emergency Departments (ED) is unique. This paper outlines the guidelines followed by two tertiary care hospitals in Detroit, USA and Manipal, India. By comparing hospital triage implementation protocols, this paper offers insight regarding similarities and differences between Detroit and Manipal ED, as well as strategies to overcome respective challenges. Methods: Triage algorithms from the Detroit Medical Centre in Detroit and Kasturba Medical College Hospital in Manipal were contrasted to illustrate the similarities and differences in …
