Vaccination against measles-mumps-rubella and rates of non-targeted infectious disease hospitalisations: Nationwide register-based cohort studies in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.
J Infect
January 2025
Bandim Health Project, Research Unit OPEN, Department of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense C, Denmark; Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark.
Objectives: To investigate if receipt of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine following the third dose of diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTaP3) is associated with reduced rates of non-targeted infectious disease hospitalisations.
Methods: Register based cohort study following 1,397,027 children born in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden until 2 years of age. Rates of infectious disease hospitalisations with minimum one overnight stay according to time-varying vaccination status were compared using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis with age as the underlying timescale and including multiple covariates.
Impact of Immunization Strategies on Rubella Incidence During Progress Toward Rubella Control and Elimination - China, 2004-2023.
China CDC Wkly
December 2024
National Key Laboratory of Intelligent Tracking and Forecasting for Infectious Diseases (NITFID), National Immunization Programme, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing, China.
Background: Since rubella was incorporated into the national disease surveillance system in 2004, rubella incidence has changed dramatically. This study analyzed the impact of immunization strategies on the age-specific and sex-specific incidence of rubella in China from 2004 to 2023 to inform efforts to accelerate rubella elimination.
Methods: Annual rubella-containing vaccine (RCV) coverage levels, reported rubella cases and incidence, and vaccination status of cases were obtained from the National Immunization Program Information Management System, the National Notifiable Diseases Reporting System, and the Measles Surveillance System, and used to describe temporal trends.
Contemporary Treatment Practices for Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis: A Nationwide Survey Among Adult and Pediatric Neurologists in India.
Ann Indian Acad Neurol
November 2024
Department of Neurology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Article Synopsis
- SSPE is a rare, progressive disorder caused by a lingering mutant measles virus in the brain, with unclear treatment strategies among neurologists.
- A survey of 298 Indian neurologists revealed insights into their management practices, showing varied preferences for therapies such as Isoprinosine and valproate.
- There is a significant gap in follow-up care for SSPE patients and an urgent need for clearer treatment guidelines to improve patient outcomes.
Epidemic risks of measles and rubella in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
World J Pediatr
December 2024
National Key Laboratory of Intelligent Tracking and Forecasting for Infectious Diseases (NITFID), NHC Key Laboratory of Medical Virology and Viral Diseases, National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention, WHO WPRO Regional Reference Measles/Rubella Laboratory, Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, No.155 Changbai Road, Changping District, Beijing, China.
Background: Seroprevalence studies across various countries can contribute to achieving the elimination target for measles and rubella. However, in the Mainland of China, the concept of herd immunity remains unclear due to the lack of a nationwide serosurvey.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted by retrieving literature reporting the seroprevalence of measles and rubella published between 2012 and 2023.

Background: Childhood hearing loss poses a significant public health challenge in Pakistan, with prevalence rates over double the global average. Parental knowledge and attitudes play a crucial role in timely detection and intervention. However, limited research explores this issue within the Pakistani context.
