4 1.2 Methods PCV introduction PCV7 (Prev[e]nar, manufactured by Pfizer, formerly Wyeth Pharmaceuticals) was registered in South Africa in PCV7 became available in the national, public-sector vaccine program from April PCV7 was recommended using a 3-dose schedule: two primary infant doses at 6 and 14 weeks aligned to the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) visits, and a booster at 9 months, aligned with the measles dose in the EPI. Children born after 15 February 2009 (6 weeks old or younger on 1 April 2009) were eligible for PCV7; no catch-up vaccination of older children was undertaken until 2011, when children who had received 2 or more doses of PCV7 received a PCV13 dose at 18 months. Between April-June 2011, gradually all provinces replaced PCV7 with PCV13. Invasive pneumococcal disease surveillance Surveillance for IPD began in 1999, 1 but was enhanced for quality and completeness in 2003 through GERMS-SA (Group for Enteric, Respiratory and Meningeal Disease Surveillance in South Africa), a nationwide, active, laboratory-based surveillance system. In 2012, over 200 laboratories (representing more than 450 hospitals, Table S1) sent reports of laboratory-confirmed IPD together with isolates to the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) in Johannesburg. All clinical microbiology laboratories throughout the country are encouraged to report. The number of hospitals and laboratories covered by our surveillance increased over the years (Table S1), however, 94% (32,922/35,192) of cases were reported from 150 hospitals, and >70% of these hospitals reported cases for the full 8-year period. Demographic details (age, gender, date of specimen collection, and body fluid source of isolate) were recorded from all hospitals. Enhanced surveillance at 24 sentinel hospitals located in all nine provinces 3

5 collected additional information including admission date, HIV serological status, discharge diagnosis and outcome; these hospitals accounted for almost 50% of all reported cases nationally. Annual laboratory audits throughout the study period using a laboratory-based information system (Disa*Lab Laboratory Information Management System) for all public-sector laboratories was used to identify unreported cases. We added the cases identified by audit to the database and were used in rate calculations. Trends in IPD by HIV status The proportion of IPD cases with known HIV status at the enhanced surveillance sites increased from 70% in 2005 to 91% in 2012 for children <2 years of age and from 69% in 2005 to 88% in 2012 for individuals years of age. Early in the study period ( ), HIV testing in children with IPD was mainly prompted by clinical indicators, while from 2008 through 2012 HIV testing was performed more systematically among all children admitted with pneumococcal disease regardless of HIV symptoms, 2 leading to improvement in estimates of HIV prevalence among cases over time. To estimate the HIV status among individuals not tested for HIV at enhanced sites from 2008 to 2012, we first used chained equations multiple imputation 3 (over 10 imputation runs). The predictors for the multiple imputation model were age, gender, province, year and serotype category (e.g. PCV7, 6A, additional PCV13 and non PCV serotypes). We then estimated the age, year and serotype-category specific relative risk (RR) for IPD hospitalizations due to HIV infection from 2008 to 2012 using the imputed dataset (enhanced sentinel site cases only). The RR for IPD hospitalization due to HIV infection was estimated by dividing the rate of IPD HIV-infected cases to the rate of IPD HIV-uninfected cases in each of the above mentioned categories. The rates of IPD hospitalizations by HIV status were obtained by dividing the estimated number of IPD HIV-infected and uninfected cases in each category by the population at risk. The midyear estimates of HIV-positive and -negative individuals in the population were estimated using 4

6 THEMBISA. 4 Subsequently, we estimated the number of HIV-positive and -negative individuals among the total (national) number of IPD cases (including not-enhanced sites) by age, year and serotype category from 2008 to 2012 using the following formula: IPD HIV 1 PopHIV 1 1 * RR * PopHIV IPD Total [1] IPD HIV+ is the age-, year- and serotype-category specific national number of IPD HIV-positive cases, Pop HIV+ and Pop HIV- are the age- and year-specific number of HIV-positive and -negative individuals in the population respectively, RR is the age-, year- and serotype-category specific relative risk for IPD hospitalization due to HIV infection calculated from the enhanced sentinel sites as described above and IPD Total is the age-, year- and serotype-specific national number of IPD hospitalizations. To obviate the potential biases in the HIV seroprevalence among IPD cases from 2005 to 2007 for the reasons provided above we estimated the age-, year- and serotype category-specific number of HIV-positive and -negative individuals among the national number of IPD cases using the formula in equation 1, but we used the age- and serotype-category specific HIV RR estimated for This was under the assumption of constant RR of IPD hospitalization due to HIV infection from 2005 to 2008 given the minimal changes of antiretroviral treatment (ART) coverage in the population over this period. 4, 5 For this calculation we opted to use the HIV RR instead of the HIV prevalence among IPD cases in 2008 because of the changing HIV prevalence in the population from 2005 to
