1 Carlo GIAQUINTO Pediatrics Department University of Padova, Italy Burden of Paediatric Rotavirus Gastroenteritis & Potential Impact of Rotavirus Vaccination Preliminary results 7th International Rotavirus Symposium Lisbon, June 2006

2 REVEAL Study Design Rotavirus gastroenteritis Epidemiology and Viral types in Europe Accounting for Losses in Public Health & Society Prospective multicentre observational study 7 European regions from Oct 1, 2004 Sept 30, 2005 Study population: - Children <5 years of age with AGE - living in the defined study area Sweden 3 Settings - all Hospitals in study area (n total =12) - all Emergency Dept. in study area (n total =16) - GPs and/or Peadiatricians (n total =139) U.K. Belgium Germany France Selected Study objectives: -Annual rate of consultation due to AGE at hospitals, emergency rooms, GP, FP or Paediatricians -Costs of RV disease Spain Italy 2

3 Objectives To assess the burden of RVGE* and the impact of Rotavirus vaccination from 2 perspectives: the health care payer (direct costs) the society (direct + indirect costs). Means:By amodel comparing 2 cohorts up to age 5. No rotavirus vaccination Universal rotavirus vaccination program in infants Outcomes Costs of RVGE* Outcomes Residual costs of RVGE* * RVGE = Rotavirus gastroenteritis 3

4 Overview of the Model : Decision Tree Subtree No rotavirus or no symptomatic RVGE Hospital acquired RVGE (No Payoff) Birth cohort No RV Vaccination programme Community-acquired RVGE RVGE seeking care No medical attendance for RVGE GP pattern pgp Emergency pattern per Hospitalisation pattern phosp Phone call No phone call (No Payoff (No Payoff (No Payoff (No Payoff (No Payoff RV vaccination programme Vaccinated No vaccinated [+] [+] Subtree Subtree Model: Performed on Excel software. Adapted from the US model of Tucker et al. (JAMA 1998). Takes into account rotavirus nosocomial infections and «phone consultations». 4

5 Which Data Do We Use in the Model? REVEAL Epidemiological and Cost Study Incidence of FP visits for RVGE Incidence of emergency visits for RVGE Incidence of hospitalisations for RVGE Health care resource utilisation (number of consultations, medicines ) Unit Cost data National Official sources Literature / Expert assumptions % of rotavirus not seeking care Distribution of serotypes Incidence of nosocomial infections REST (Rotavirus Efficacy and Safety Trial) with pentavalent Rotavirus vaccine Reduction in hospitalisations, emergency visits, physician visits 5

6 Model Inputs Pentavalent Rotavirus Vaccine Efficacy / Effectiveness Efficacy data based on REST clinical study publication (Vesikari et al. NEJM 2006) and experts assumptions. 3 scenarios for efficacy: Base Minimum Highest Focus on the base- case scenario of efficacy GP cases Emergency cases Hospitalisations Nosocomial infections Deaths Cases not seeking care Efficacy for children receiving at least 1 dose Waning rate Coverage rate Effectiveness to reduce % * [95%CI: 73.9% %] ** % * [95%CI: 88.8% %] ** % * [95%CI: 90.5% %] ** % * [95%CI: 90.5% %] ** % * [95%CI: 90.5% %] ** % * [95%CI: 73.9% %] ** 60 % * 10 % after 2 years * 90 % * [70 % - 80 %] ** * Base-case efficacy ** [Minimum efficacy, Highest efficacy] 6

8 Main Epidemiological Inputs based on REVEAL Study - Italy RVGE Incidences Value Incidence of hospitalised cases* 5.3/1000 Incidence of emergency cases* 18.9/1000 Incidence of cases seen by physicians* 22.7/1000 * In children < 5 years 8

9 Main Epidemiological Inputs - Italy Value Source / Justification Birth cohort 531,000 UNICEF statistics (year 2003) Incidence of nosocomial infections* 1.6/1000 Assumption based on Gleizes et al. PIDJ (2006): For 1 community-acquired RV, 0.6 Rotavirus nosocomial infection % of cases not seeking medical attention 42.3 % Itzler et al. PAS Annual Meeting (2005) Number of deaths / year* 10 Soriano-Gabarro et al. PIDJ (2006) * In children < 5 years 9

10 Main Economic Inputs based on Reveal Cost study - Italy REVEAL Cost Study Cost of RVGE cases used in the model Items FP* office visit Unit costs 18.5 Perspective Payer Society Nurse home visit Emergency room visit FP case Assessment Ward Hospitalisation stay Stool test (viral) Emergency case Work day lost Baby-sitter 8.5 /h Hospitalised case Healthcare resources utilised during REVEAL multiplied by Italian unit costs enable an estimation of a mean cost per RVGE case. 10 * Family Paediatrician

13 Impact of the Pentavalent Rotavirus Vaccine on the RVGE Burden in Italy 10 Deaths Without vaccination Nosocomial Infections Hospitalisations Emergency Visits Physician Visits Not seeking care - 75% With rotavirus vaccination Base-case efficacy children Coverage rate = 90% 2 Deaths Nosocomial Hospitalisations Emergency Physician Not seek 13

16 Impact of the Vaccine on the RVGE Burden in Italy - 59% Without program With program between the 2 Policies Deaths Hospitalisations Nosocomial infections Emergency visits Physician visits Cases treated at home Base-case scenario Birth cohort : children Coverage rate = 70% 16

17 Main Limitations of the Model A few assumptions required experts opinions Impact on families not included No assessment of Quality of Life The price of the vaccine may differ in European countries, according also to the vaccination policy adopted. A model considering different scenarios including different prices, coverage etc is being developed. 17

18 Conclusions High Burden of RVGE in Italy: More than cases Total cost = 75 Millions Positive Impact of Pentavalent Rotavirus Vaccine: With a 70-90% coverage rate vaccination would reduce the burden of RVGE by %: hospitalisations emergency visits physician visits, - considerable work days lost. 18
