Mitigation strategies for pandemic influenza in the United States.
Recent human deaths due to infection by highly pathogenic (H5N1) avian influenza A virus have raised the specter of a devastating pandemic like that of 1917-1918, should this avian virus evolve to become readily transmissible among humans. We introduce and use a large-scale stochastic simulation model to investigate the spread of a pandemic strain of influenza virus through the U.S. population ...
متن کاملMitigation Strategies for Pandemic Influenza in the United States: Supporting Information
A. Simulation Model Details The three basic elements of our national-level simulation model are (1) a previously developed stochastic agent-based model for disease spread at the community level; (2) detailed U.S. Census demographics and worker flow data for daily commuter traffic at short distances, and Bureau of Transportation Statistics data for the less frequent longrange travel behavior; an...
متن کاملHealth outcomes and costs of community mitigation strategies for an influenza pandemic in the United States.
BACKGROUND The optimal community-level approach to control pandemic influenza is unknown. METHODS We estimated the health outcomes and costs of combinations of 4 social distancing strategies and 2 antiviral medication strategies to mitigate an influenza pandemic for a demographically typical US community. We used a social network, agent-based model to estimate strategy effectiveness and an ec...
متن کاملCommunity Mitigation Guidelines to Prevent Pandemic Influenza — United States, 2017
When a novel influenza A virus with pandemic potential emerges, nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) often are the most readily available interventions to help slow transmission of the virus in communities, which is especially important before a pandemic vaccine becomes widely available. NPIs, also known as community mitigation measures, are actions that persons and communities can take to he...
متن کاملEconomic evaluation of influenza pandemic mitigation strategies in the United States using a stochastic microsimulation transmission model.
OBJECTIVES To project the potential economic impact of pandemic influenza mitigation strategies from a societal perspective in the United States. METHODS We use a stochastic agent-based model to simulate pandemic influenza in the community. We compare 17 strategies: targeted antiviral prophylaxis (TAP) alone and in combination with school closure as well as prevaccination. RESULTS In the ab...
