Introduction: This study analyzed the health and economic impact of the 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (V116) and the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20), as well as their relative cost-effectiveness, in Japanese adults aged 65 years using a delta pricing approach.
Methods: A Markov model was employed to simulate the movement of the Japanese population among four health states: healthy, pneumococcal disease (consisting of invasive pneumococcal disease [IPD] with or without meningitis and non-bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia [NBPP]), post-meningitis sequelae, and death. The model was populated with publicly available demographic and epidemiologic data, stratified by risk level.
Background: Despite effective pneumococcal vaccines, pneumococcal disease (PD) exerts a substantial burden on children. This study explored the clinical and economic burden of invasive PD (IPD), non-invasive all-cause pneumonia (ACP), and acute otitis media (AOM) in hospitalized children.
Methods: Data from the BD Insights Research Database of hospitalized children (< 18 years, including infants and children) in the US were analyzed retrospectively.
Objectives: The attitudes and perceptions of healthcare consumers (HCCs) are increasingly becoming more relevant in decision-making with healthcare providers and incorporated into healthcare decision-making by national immunization technical advisory groups and health technology assessment agencies. With newer pneumococcal vaccine options available, HCCs' attitudes and perceptions play a key role in gauging potential acceptance. The objective of this study was to assess HCCs' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions toward pneumococcal vaccines for adults.

- Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) are typically labor-intensive and costly, but this study proposes an NLP-based solution to streamline the process for observational studies using real-world data.
- The developed Intelligent SLR Platform automates key steps like article screening and data extraction, incorporating machine learning algorithms that achieve high accuracy and provide transparency in results through explainable AI.
- Ultimately, this innovative approach frees up researchers' time, enabling them to concentrate on data quality and the overall research process.
Objectives: It is important to assess healthcare providers (HCPs) knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and preferences towards new pneumococcal vaccines for adults.
Methods: HCPs who met eligibility criteria completed an online survey between March - May 2024 that included a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to elicit preferences.
Results: Among 340 participating HCPs, the average age was 44.
