A recently published paper that assessed the comparative cost-effectiveness of the 2 pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) in Malaysia and Hong Kong reported that the 13-valent PCV vaccine (PCV13) is a better choice compared to the 10-valent pneumococcal non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae protein D conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV or PCV10) from both a payer and societal perspective as well as under various scenarios. However, the analysis relied on a large number of assumptions that were either erroneous or did not take into account the most recent body of evidence available. A rigorous evaluation of the underlying assumptions is necessary to present a fair and balanced analysis for decision-making.
最近发表的一篇评估两种肺炎球菌结合疫苗(PCV)在马来西亚和香港的比较成本效益的论文报告称,从支付方和社会角度以及在各种情况下,13价肺炎球菌结合疫苗(PCV13)比10价肺炎球菌非分型流感嗜血杆菌蛋白D结合疫苗(PHiD-CV或PCV10)是更好的选择。然而,该分析依赖于大量要么错误要么未考虑到最新可得证据的假设。对这些潜在假设进行严格评估对于提供公平和平衡的决策分析是必要的。
