Article Synopsis
- This analysis evaluates the cost-effectiveness of cell-based vs. recombinant influenza vaccines in the US, focusing on adults aged 18-64 during the 2018-2019 flu season.
- A SEIR transmission model revealed that both vaccines significantly reduced influenza cases and related deaths, with the cell-based vaccine yielding better quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and 36% lower costs, saving about $2.8 billion.
- The cell-based vaccine was found to be more cost-saving and effective overall, outperforming the recombinant vaccine and no vaccination across various payer perspectives.

Understanding the relationship between functionality, psychological outcome and social engagement post-bleed may facilitate identification of patients at high risk for social isolation after ICH.
Methods: Patients ≥18-years-old with non-traumatic ICH from January 2015-March 2023 were identified from the Neurological Emergencies Outcomes at NYU (NEON) registry.
Case investigation and contact tracing (CICT) are public health measures that aim to break the chain of pathogen transmission. Changes in viral characteristics of COVID-19 variants have likely affected the effectiveness of CICT programs. We estimated and compared the cases averted in Vermont when the original COVID-19 strain circulated (Nov.

Materials And Methods: Patients with non-traumatic hemorrhage (ICH or SAH) admitted between January 2015 and February 2021 were assessed by telephone 3-months after discharge using the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QoL) Negative Disease-Related Stigma Short Form inventory. We evaluated the relationship between disease-related stigma (T-score >50) and pre-stroke demographics, admission data, and poor functional outcome (3-month mRS score 3-5 and Barthel Index <100).
