In this 2008 article, the authors report on a survey to assess the value individuals place on preventing herpes zoster. The Zoster Vaccine Live (ZVL) was recommended for routine use in adults aged ≥60 years. Members of the population (“community members”, n= 527), patients with shingles (n= 382) or post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN, n = 137) completed an internet or telephone survey to assess the value they place on preventing herpes zoster. The authors used standard…

ArticlePublication 2007Measuring Health Preferences for Use in Analyses of Interventions in Children
Valuing the health of children for cost-utility or cost-benefit analysis is more challenging than valuing …
Valuing the health of children for cost-utility or cost-benefit analysis is more challenging than valuing adult health. Young children cannot conceptualize value, they are not responsible for their own decision making, and proxies may not fully understand the child perspective. Moreover illness in children may affect parent/caregiver health and quality of life, further complicating the measurement of value associated with a change in a child’s health status.This paper reviews the most common approaches (QALYs and willingness-to-pay)…

ArticlePublication 2008Potential Cost-Effectiveness of Vaccination against Herpes Zoster and Post-Herpetic Neuralgia
This 2008 Canadian study assessed the cost effectiveness of the Zoster Vaccine Live (ZVL) vaccine …
This 2008 Canadian study assessed the cost effectiveness of the Zoster Vaccine Live (ZVL) vaccine against herpes zoster (HZ) and post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). The authors used a cohort model to estimate the burden of HZ and the cost-effectiveness of HZ vaccination from a ministry of health perspective using Canadian population-based data. They examined different ages at vaccination and conducted probabilistic sensitivity analysis.There are about 130,000 new cases of HZ, 17,000 cases of PHN and 20 deaths…

ArticlePublication 2013Vaccination against Herpes Zoster and Postherpetic Neuralgia in France: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
This article reports on a cost-effectiveness analysis of the original herpes zoster vaccine (ZVL) for …
This article reports on a cost-effectiveness analysis of the original herpes zoster vaccine (ZVL) for the 65 year + population in France. The authors compared vaccinating all adults over 65 years versus adults from 70-79 years, over their lifetimes, from a third-party payer perspective. French-specific data were combined with results from clinical studies and international quality-of-life-based (EuroQol 5D) utilities from the literature. Results showed incremental cost-effective ratios d between €9513 and €12,304 per quality-adjusted life…

ArticlePublication 2015Distribution of Health Effects and Cost-Effectiveness of Varicella Vaccination
This article reports on an analysis of the impact of universal childhood varicella vaccination on the …
This article reports on an analysis of the impact of universal childhood varicella vaccination on the incidence of herpes zoster (HZ) using dynamic transmission modelling and cost-effectiveness analyses. Scenarios that are considered differ by whether or not immune boosting is included, and whether or not reactivation of vaccine virus is possible. The authors report that health effects of varicella vaccination in scenarios with immune boosting are unevenly distributed: cohorts born just before introduction of vaccination and…

This review provides documentation and critical appraisal of published data concerning the humanistic, economic and societal burden of herpes zoster (HZ) in Europe. From a review of 1619 abstracts, 53 eligible articles, were identified which reported data concerning healthcare resource use (n = 38), direct costs (n = 20), indirect costs (n = 16), total costs (n = 10) and impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) (n = 21).The findings indicate that postherpetic neuralgia…

This review summarized the herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination cost effectiveness literature, consisting of 11 studies Most studies evaluated the cost effectiveness of universal HZ vaccination in adults aged 50 years or 60 years and older and all studies calculated costs per QALY. The costs per QALY gained and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) differed depending on the age at vaccination, duration of vaccine efficacy, cost of vaccine course, and economic perspective. All but one of…
