We calculated the age-specific mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) by dividing age-specific mortality rates by incidence rates to quantify potential overdiagnosis, and used Segi's world standard population to calculate the age-standardised incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR). We then assessed the correlation between the human development index (HDI) and ASIR/ASMR using the linear correlation coefficient (r).

Compared to its ranking as the 7th most common cancer in the overall population, thyroid cancer rose to become the 2nd most common cancer among individuals <40 years. Nearly 99% of thyroid cancer cases in individuals <40 years of age (MIR = 0.01) may be potentially overdiagnosed, whereas 34% of cases in those >80 years (MIR = 0.66) were overdiagnosed. The ASIR of early-onset thyroid cancer varied widely (from 0.13 to 13.17 per 100 000 population), while the ASMR remains relatively similar and low across different regions. The ASIR of early-onset thyroid cancer increased with HDI (r = 0.69), while the ASMR decreased (r = -0.22). The ASIR of early-onset thyroid cancer had the fastest upward trend (EAPC in males vs. females: 9.88 vs. 9.28%) compared to early-onset cancers at other sites, while ASMR showed a downward trend (EAPC in males vs. females: -0.38% vs. -1.33%). The Republic of Korea experienced the highest EAPC for early-onset thyroid cancer ASIR (males vs. females: 29.95% vs. 23.04%).

We assessed the gaps in service availability and coverage, lack of service readiness, missed care opportunities, and inadequate service process, where service readiness and process quality were defined according to global standards with country-specific adaptations.

The findings have reinforced that, while Omicron infections are often milder compared to earlier variants, the overall seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in children has increased, with notable regional and demographic disparities. COVID-19-related hospitalisation rates in children rose during Omicron waves, especially among infants, unvaccinated individuals, and CYP at higher risk, i.e. with comorbidities such as obesity, diabetes, and neurological or cardiac conditions. Despite this, severe disease and mortality in children remained very low. The observed increases in type 1 diabetes incidence and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) have also highlighted the broader systemic effects of SARS-CoV-2 in paediatric populations. Evidence has underscored the protective effect of vaccination in preventing severe disease and MIS-C and vaccine safety, emphasising the need for targeted immunisation strategies, particularly among children who may be at higher risk. Studies have also estimated that a significant proportion of children experienced persistent post-COVID-19 infection symptoms such as fatigue, mood disturbances, sleep disorders, and respiratory difficulties, but the reported prevalence varied widely, from as low as 1.6% to as high as 70%, due to differences in study methodologies, case definitions, and populations studied. Standardised definitions and measurement tools, such as those developed through international consensus processes, are required to improve diagnosis, treatment, and research into this persisting condition. Ethnic disparities in vaccine uptake persist, implying that vaccine hesitancy and accessibility, alongside approaches to countering disinformation, are important areas for future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":48734,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Health","volume":"15 ","pages":"01002"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11961057/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143764915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to explore the correlates and develop a model for Mpox vaccination intention.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We distributed a questionnaire to a sample of 2403 men who have sex with men to investigate whether they would get a Mpox vaccine. The participants were randomly split into a training set and a testing set in a ratio of 3:1. We screened relevant variables by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis and included them into a Mpox vaccination intention model, which used a multivariate logistic regression analysis and presented the findings as a nomogram. We used the receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, lift test, and population stability index to test the validity and stability of the model.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of the 2403 participants in our sample, 87.1% intended to get an Mpox vaccine. Five of the thirty-one screened variables, i.e. Mpox knowledge, social support, vaccination internal rewards, vaccination external rewards, and vaccination response efficacy, were included in the vaccination intention model. The model demonstrated strong risk differentiation (Kolmogorov-Smirnov value = 0.46), moderate predictive power (training area under the curve = 0.7709), and good calibration fit, indicating robust performance.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our proposed model has a good performance and is highly stable, while our findings suggest that governments should design targeted public health strategies, integrating social engagement and leveraging peer and community education to promote Mpox vaccination.</p>","PeriodicalId":48734,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Health","volume":"15 ","pages":"04070"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11961056/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143764385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
