  • Title: [A method for evaluating the hepatitis B vaccination program].
    Author: Corrao G, Calleri M, Carle F, Russo R, Favilli S.
    Journal: Ann Ist Super Sanita; 1989; 25(2):337-43. PubMed ID: 2531564.
    Abstract:
    Two mathematical models have been created in order to estimate the effectiveness (number and proportion of infections saved) and the cost/effectiveness ratio (cost per infection saved) of a hepatitis B vaccination strategy among hospital personnel. The aim of the models is to analyse the mathematical relationship between the measurement of strategy impact and some variables: theoretical effectiveness of vaccine, proportion of assent to the programme, epidemiological characteristics. Applying models to Piedmont situation it has been possible to identify factors which have negatively influenced the effectiveness and efficiency of strategy.
