Here, we describe an effort to define a workflow lexicon for medical imaging departments, including the rationale, the process, and the resulting lexicon.
In the province of Quebec, Canada, the pneumococcal 7-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV-7) was licensed in 2001 and a publicly funded program was implemented in 2004, recommending 3 doses for healthy children. An economic analysis was performed both from a health care and societal perspective. Outcomes possibly prevented by PCV-7 and observed in 2006–2007 were compared to expected frequencies based on...
One dose of serogroup C meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV-C) at 12 months of age is the most common immunization schedule in Canada, but immunity may wane over time.To assess the cost-effectiveness of a booster dose at 12 years of age with either MCV-C or a quadrivalent ACYW135 meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV-4).A simulation model for assessing both the direct and indirect effects of vaccination...
This study compares the cost-effectiveness of a control strategy for serogroup C meningococcal disease (CMD) relying on surveillance and implementation of a mass immunization campaign effective 1 year after the beginning of an epidemic with strategies based on routine immunization, using either three doses of serogroup C conjugate vaccine given in early infancy or one dose at 1 year of age. The simulation...
