Measles deaths in Nepal: estimating the national case-fatality ratio.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the case-fatality ratio (CFR) for measles in Nepal, determine the role of risk factors, such as political instability, for measles mortality, and compare the use of a nationally representative sample of outbreaks versus routine surveillance or a localized study to establish the national CFR (nCFR). METHODS This was a retrospective study of measles cases and deaths in Nep...
متن کاملDecline in measles case fatality ratio after the introduction of measles immunization in rural Senegal.
The epidemiology of measles has been investigated in Niakhar, a rural area of Senegal, during two periods, 1983-1986 and 1987-1990. Following a major increase in immunization coverage beginning in 1987, the case fatality ratio for all ages declined fourfold from the first to the second period (relative risk (RR) = 0.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.13-0.46). The measles incidence for children...
متن کاملMeasles Case Fatality Rate in Bihar, India, 2011–12
BACKGROUND Updated estimates of measles case fatality rates (CFR) are critical for monitoring progress towards measles elimination goals. India accounted for 36% of total measles deaths occurred globally in 2011. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to estimate measles CFR and identify the risk factors for measles death in Bihar-one of the north Indian states historically known for its low...
متن کاملEstimates of measles case fatality ratios: a comprehensive review of community-based studies.
BACKGROUND Global deaths from measles have decreased notably in past decades, due to both increases in immunization rates and decreases in measles case fatality ratios (CFRs). While some aspects of the reduction in measles mortality can be monitored through increases in immunization coverage, estimating the level of measles deaths (in absolute terms) is problematic, particularly since incidence...
متن کاملMeasles case fatality ratio in India a review of community based studies.
CONTEXT Measles remains a major cause of child mortality in India. Measles case fatality ratios (CFRs) vary substantially between countries and even within the same community over time. We present a review of Indian community-based measles CFR studies conducted from 1975 to 2008. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION PubMed, Cochrane Libraries, and all WHO databases were searched using a combination of terms....
