In the first five years of vaccination, 96% of the total HPV-related diseases costs avoided would be attributable to the prevention of HPV6/11-related diseases, due to the generally shorter latency period for these diseases.
The incredible progress of the past decade is largely attributable to massive prevention campaigns and much improved access to anti-retroviral therapy (ART), which today can extend the life expectancy of someone living with HIV to nearly that of a non-infected person.
Costs and health outcomes attributable to fall prevention following vitamin D supplementation.
In addition to incremental costs of the intervention (measured against the comparator), incremental cost offsets attributable to disease prevention in the long-term will be reported.
Given the high morbidity and mortality attributable to VAP, prevention plays a key role in the management of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.
Given the clinical consequences attributable to VAP, prevention of VAP is of great importance and is a priority in ICU care.
Diffey (2004) has suggested that any downturn in UK incidence attributable to primary prevention activities may not be seen for 30 years, and de Vries et al (2005) predicts an 80% increase in the Netherlands by 2015, both predictions taking account of the ageing population.
Further, 18 h of CMV resulted in a 25% reduction in diaphragm fiber CSA, and inhibition of JAK signaling prevented nearly half of this loss, suggesting that at least part of its benefit is attributable to the prevention of atrophic processes (Fig. 2 D).
31 39 It is estimated that half of the decline in mortality since 1980 is attributable to primary prevention of myocardial infarction that is, reduction in the prevalence of major cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and uncontrolled high blood pressure.
