Were we to assume lower serotype coverage of 60%%, the projected cases averted and deaths prevented would be slightly lower.
Using baseline values of all input variables, without accounting for uncertainties, the average cost per case of WNV illness prevented would be ≈$34,200.
We estimated that the cost per offence prevented would be $781 (total 43 offences prevented), the cost per serious injury avoided would be $10,5423.2.2 major injuries prevented), and cost per life year gained discounted at 3% would be $4478.
We estimated that the cost per offence prevented would be $1826, the cost per serious injury avoided would be $24,658, and cost per life year gained discounted at 3% would be $10,472.
The authors estimated that there was a 95% probability that the cost per relapse prevented would be below US$20,000 and the cost per relapse-free day would be below US$420.
If we assume the sensitivity recently reported by NLST of 93.8% (Church et al, 2013), instead of 97% from the meta-analysis, the numbers of screen-detected cancers and the numbers of deaths prevented would be attenuated by ∼3%.
Increasing the CAR above 25% had no effect on programs with fixed stockpiles because the same number of deaths and complications would be prevented at the same cost (the proportion of deaths prevented would be reduced, but the absolute number would remain the same).
Turkey in turn has accused European countries of failing to prevent would-be jihadis from travelling in the first place.
The group, Samaha said, complied with Syria's insistence that it prevent would-be Palestinian suicide bombers from crossing the border into Israel.
In return, it has been assured that European countries such as Britain will do more to prevent would-be Isis recruits heading for Turkey.
