European all-cause excess and influenza-attributable mortality in the 2017/18 s...
Nielsen, Jens; Vestergaard, Lasse; Richter, L.; Schmid, D.; Bustos, N.; Asikainen, T.; Trebbien, R.; Denissov, G.; Innos, K.; Virtanen, M.J.Objectives: Weekly monitoring of European all-cause excess mortality, the EuroMOMO network, observed high excess mortality during the influenza B/Yamagata dominated 2017/18 winter season, especially among elderly. We describe all-cause excess and influenza-attributable mortality during the season 2017/18 in Europe. Methods: Based on weekly reporting of mortality from 24 European countries or sub-national region...
Influenza vaccine effectiveness estimates in Europe in a season with three infl...
Kissling, E.; Valenciano, M.; Buchholz, U.; Larrauri, A.; Cohen, J.M.; Nunes, Baltazar; Rogalska, J.; Pitigoi, D.; Paradowska-Stankiewicz, I.; Reuss, J.In the fifth season of Influenza Monitoring Vaccine Effectiveness in Europe (I-MOVE), we undertook a multicentre case–control study (MCCS) in seven European Union (EU) Member States to measure 2012/13 influenza vaccine effectiveness against medically attended influenza-like illness (ILI) laboratory confirmed as influenza. The season was characterised by substantial co-circulation of influenza B, A(H1N1)pdm09 an...
Low and decreasing vaccine effectiveness against influenza A(H3) in 2011/12 amo...
Kissling, E.; Valenciano, M.; Larrauri, A.; Oroszi, B.; Cohen, J.M.; Nunes, Baltazar; Pitigoi, D.; Rizzo, C.; Rebolledo, J.; Paradowska-Stankiewicz, I.Within the Influenza Monitoring Vaccine Effectiveness in Europe (I-MOVE) project we conducted a multicentre case–control study in eight European Union (EU) Member States to estimate the 2011/12 influenza vaccine effectiveness against medically attended influenza-like illness (ILI) laboratory-confirmed as influenza A(H3) among the vaccination target groups. Practitioners systematically selected ILI / acute respi...
Pooling European all-cause mortality: methodology and findings for the seasons ...
Nielsen, J.; Mazick, A.; Andrews, N.; Detsis, M.; Fenech, T.M.; Flores, V.M.; Foulliet, A.; Gergonne, B.; Green, H.K.; Junker, C.; Nunes, BaltazarSeveral European countries have timely all-cause mortality monitoring. However, small changes in mortality may not give rise to signals at the national level. Pooling data across countries may overcome this, particularly if changes in mortality occur simultaneously. Additionally, pooling may increase the power of monitoring populations with small numbers of expected deaths, e.g. younger age groups or fertile wo...
