{"title":"National trends in influenza vaccination coverage rates in South\u0000 Korea between 2007-2020, including the COVID-19 pandemic: a longitudinal\u0000 nationwide serial study","authors":"Hyeon Jin Kim, Hye-Kyeong Park, D. Yon, M. Rahmati","doi":"10.54724/lc.2023.e9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54724/lc.2023.e9","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: The beneficial relationship of influenza vaccination rate on the COVID-19 pandemic is inconclusive and inconsistent. Thus, we aimed to investigate long-term trend changes in influenza vaccination rate among general population of South Korea before COVID-19 pandemic and during early/mid-pandemic period. Methods: We analyzed nationwide representative serial study from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). We analyzed data from 2007 to 2020 from KNHANES to calculate the influenza vaccination rates. Influenza vaccination status was obtained from health interviews and questionnaire based on the question of whether the influenza vaccine was vaccinated in the past 12 months. Results: Among 78,067 participants, the vaccination coverage increased from 2007 to 2020 (27.6% in 2007 to 2008 and 42.2% in 2020). The slope for the vaccination coverage increased between 2007 to 2019 (pre-pandemic, β= 0.310, 95% CI, 0.267 to 0.352), and the slope increased less than expected between 2018 to 2020 (entering the pandemic, β = 0.036, 95% CI, 0.010 to 0.062; β diff = -0.274, 95% CI, -0.323 to -0.224). However, the participants with ≥ 65 years old and those with medical condition (diabetes, tuberculosis, asthma, angina, myocardial infarction, cancer, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia), the trends of the vaccination coverage increased from 2007 to 2019, whereas the coverage were decreased in 2020 (≥65 years old: 72.9%, 85.5%, and 81.4%; medical condition: 43.3%, 56.3%, and 55.7%, respectively). Conclusions: In this study using nationwide serial study, the influenza vaccination coverage increased from 2007 to 2020, and the slope increased less than expected in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, the vaccination coverage decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic in the participants with ≥65 years old and those with medical condition. We suggest that influenza vaccination should be encouraged to the elderly and chronic disease patients to prevent twin infection during the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":54952,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment","volume":"125 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86470256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, various factors can contribute to the length of survival or observation periods, and removing specific data can lead to bias results. In this paper, we discuss the Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression model, which are the most frequently used methods in survival analysis. For the first step, we shall discuss the temporal concepts needed in survival analysis, such as cohort studies and then the basic statistical functions dealt with in survival analysis. After solidifying the concepts, methods of understanding and practical application of the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis is noted. After that, we will discuss the analysis methods for the Cox proportional hazards regression model, which includes multiple covariates. With the interpretation method of Cox proportional hazards regression result, we then discuss methods for checking the assumptions of the Cox proportional hazards regression, such as log minus log plots. Finally, we briefly explain the concept of time-dependent regression analysis. It is our aim that through this paper, readers can obtain an understanding on survival analysis and learn how to perform it.","PeriodicalId":54952,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79313892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, we aimed to provide a comparative systematic review and meta-analysis of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rates in African countries and their predictors. Methods: Fifteen studies on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rates in African countries were reviewed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar. Meta-analysis investigated the summary effect and inter-study heterogeneity of vaccine acceptance rates and influential factors. Results: Overall, the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate was 71.0% (95% CI 64.0 to 77.0). However, as time passed, the vaccine acceptance rate showed a decrease (second half of 2020: 81%, first half of 2021: 67%). Also, the vaccine acceptance rates in urban areas were higher than in rural areas (urban: 82%, rural: 72%). When considering region, vaccine acceptance rates in Eastern and Southern African countries were higher than in Western and North African countries (East: 72%, South: 72%, West: 60%, and North: 52%). Finally, factors such as older age, male sex, and wealth were identified as factors associated with a more acceptive attitude toward vaccination. Conclusion: COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rates demonstrated shifts and was affected by several factors. The rates decreased over time, were lower in rural (vs. urban) settings, and were relatively low in Northern and West African countries (vs. Southern and East African countries).
