Cost effectiveness of potential immunization interventions against diarrhoeal disease

Efficiency of hospital cholera treatment in Ecuador

“…At the rate of 2 200 Ecuadorian sucres per United States dollar (US$), the average treatment cost was US$ 101.62 per patient and the excess costs were $45.50. The most important contributor to these excess costs (61%) was personnel and administration costs, which corroborates the results found in other countries in studies of immunization programs and the treatment of diarrheal diseases (19)(20)(21). However, the individual cost category with the highest ratio of excess to total costs was laboratory tests and medical supplies (53%).…”

A Descriptive Review of Selected Nonviral Enteric Illnesses Reported in Children in Quebec between 1999 and 2006

“…Population-based surveillance studies (9,(11)(12)(13) conducted in the US demonstrated increasing rates of Giardiasis between 1992 and 1997, with the highest national rates found among children between zero and five years of age. The direct and indirect costs of diarrheal disease in children are very high for communities worldwide, and better prevention and control programs could significantly decrease the economic burden on health care systems (3,14,15).…”

Etiology of Acute Gastroenteritis in Hospitalized Children in Melbourne, Australia, from April 1980 to March 1993

“…The costs of treating rotavirus infection alone have been estimated to be in excess of £6.3 million annually in the United Kingdom (25) and $352 million in the United States (24). Control of pediatric diarrheal disease would lead to considerable health-care cost savings in all countries (8). Effective control of diarrheal disease in any community depends upon an accurate understanding of the relative importance of etiological agents, particularly in relation to the disease burden in various age groups.…”
