Characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern B.1.1.7, B.1.351 or P.1: data...
Funk, Tjede; Pharris, Anastasia; Spiteri, Gianfranco; Bundle, Nick; Melidou, Angeliki; Carr, Michael; Gonzalez, Gabriel; Garcia-Leon, AlejandroWe compared 19,207 cases of SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.7/S gene target failure (SGTF), 436 B.1.351 and 352 P.1 to non-variant cases reported by seven European countries. COVID-19 cases with these variants had significantly higher adjusted odds ratios for hospitalisation (B.1.1.7/SGTF: 1.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.0-2.9; B.1.351: 3.6, 95% CI: 2.1-6.2; P.1: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.4-4.8) and B.1.1.7/SGTF and P.1 cas...
HIV in Europe and Central Asia: progress in 2018 towards meeting the UNAIDS 90-...
Brown, Alison E.; Hayes, Rosalie; Noori, Teymur; Azad, Yusef; Amato-Gauci, Andrew J.; Pharris, Anastasia; Delpech, Valerie C.In 2018, 52 of 55 European and Central Asian countries reported data against the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. Overall, 80% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) were diagnosed, of whom 64% received treatment and 86% treated were virally suppressed. Subregional outcomes varied: West (87%-91%-93%), Centre (83%-73%-75%) and East (76%-46%-78%). Overall, 43% of all PLHIV were virally suppressed; intensive efforts are needed...
Potential adjustment methodology for missing data and reporting delay in the HI...
Rosinska, Magdalena; Pantazis, Nikos; Janiec, Janusz; Pharris, Anastasia; Amato-Gauci, Andrew J.; Quinten, Chantal; ECDC HIV/AIDS Surveillance NetworkAccurate case-based surveillance data remain the key data source for estimating HIV burden and monitoring prevention efforts in Europe. We carried out a literature review and exploratory analysis of surveillance data regarding two crucial issues affecting European surveillance for HIV: missing data and reporting delay. Initial screening showed substantial variability of these data issues, both in time and acros...
New HIV diagnoses among adults aged 50 years or older in 31 European countries,...
Tavoschi, Lara; Gomes Dias, Joana; Pharris, Anastasia; on behalf of the show EU/EEA HIV Surveillance NetworkBackground: The HIV burden is increasing in older adults in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA). We investigated factors associated with HIV diagnosis in older adults in the 31 EU/EEA countries during a 12 year period. Methods: In this analysis of surveillance data, we compared data from older people (aged ≥50 years) with those from younger people (aged 15–49 years). We extracted new HIV di...
Reduction in undiagnosed HIV infection in the European Union/European Economic ...
van Sighem, Ard; Pharris, Anastasia; Quinten, Chantal; Noori, Teymur; Amato-Gauci, Andrew JIt is well-documented that early HIV diagnosis and linkage to care reduces morbidity and mortality as well as HIV transmission. We estimated the median time from HIV infection to diagnosis in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) at 2.9 years in 2016, with regional variation. Despite evidence of a decline in the number of people living with undiagnosed HIV in the EU/EEA, many remain undiagnosed, in...
Estimating HIV incidence and number of undiagnosed individuals living with HIV ...
Pharris, Anastasia; Quinten, Chantal; Noori, Teymur; Amato-Gauci, Andrew J; van Sighem, ArdSince 2011, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) incidence appears unchanged in the European Union/European Economic Area with between 29,000 and 33,000 new cases reported annually up to 2015. Despite evidence that HIV diagnosis is occurring earlier post-infection, the estimated number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) who were unaware of being infected in 2015 was 122,000, or 15% of all PLHIV (n=810,000). This i...
