Sensitivity analysis pcv model
To assess the sensitivity of the IPD predictions produced by the epidemiological model (assuming complete replacement)
effects of 24 alternative scenarios regarding the role of certain serotypes in PCV10 and PCV13 were calculated, separately for <5 and 5+ year olds.
The results, shown in the table below, can be summarized as follows:
For <5 year olds:
- Inclusion of direct effects for 19A in PCV10 decreses the advantage of PCV13 from the default level of approximately 30 cases by 15.
- Exclusion of 3 from PCV13 decreses the PCV13 advantage by approximately 2 cases. Inclusion of 6A in PCV10 decreses the PCV13 advantage by 4 cases.
For 5+ year olds:
- Exclusion of serotype 3 from PCV13 will decrease its advantage by 130 cases, practically eliminating the advantage.
- Inclusion of 6A in pcv10 will inrease the PCV13-advantage by 30 (as 6A is not a good vaccine type for adults) and assuming that 6C carriage proportion (of 6AC) is 50% (instead of the default level of 33%) will increase it by 10.
Columns of the table: _ 3inP13 = inclusion of serotype 3 in PCV13 6Cprop = assumed proportion of 6C carriers among the 6A/C carriers 6AinP10 = inclusion of serotype 6A in PCV10 19AinP10 = inclusion of serotype 19A in PCV10 _ <5_P10 Decrease in IPD among <5 yo:s after PCV10 (IPD=99 when no vaccination) <5_P13 Decrease in IPD among <5 yo:s after PCV13 <5_Diff Additional decrease in IPD due to PCV13 (vs PCV10) _ 5+_P10 Decrease in IPD among 5+ yo:s after PCV10 (IPD=687 when no vaccination) 5+_P13 Decrease in IPD among 5+ yo:s after PCV13 5+_Diff Additional decrease in IPD due to PCV13 (vs PCV10)
Levels of protection considered:
0 = no protection
dir = direct efficacy against disease (*), no indirect effects
(*) 80% coverage, 10% waning per year, 80% efficacy against
disease for newly vaccinated
full = 100% overall effectiveness
