The Cost-Effectiveness of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening in Estonia.

Objective: To assess the cost-effectiveness of population-based abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening in Estonia.

Methods: A Markov cohort model was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of population-based AAA screening compared with no screening. A hypothetical cohort of 6000 men aged 65 was followed for 35 years.

Cost-effectiveness of HPV vaccination in the context of high cervical cancer incidence and low screening coverage.

Background: Estonia has high cervical cancer incidence and low screening coverage. We modelled the impact of population-based bivalent, quadrivalent or nonavalent HPV vaccination alongside cervical cancer screening.

Methods: A Markov cohort model of the natural history of HPV infection was used to assess the cost-effectiveness of vaccinating a cohort of 12-year-old girls with bivalent, quadrivalent or nonavalent vaccine in two doses in a national, school-based vaccination programme.
