Group B Streptococcal Disease in the Era of Intrapartum Antibiotic Prophylaxis
Stephanie J. Schrag,Sara Zywicki,Monica M. Farley,Arthur Reingold,Lee H. Harrison,Lewis B. Lefkowitz,James L. Hadler,Richard Danila,Paul R. Cieslak,Anne Schuchat +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed trends in the incidence of group B streptococcal disease from 1993 to 1998 and estimated that 3900 early-onset infections and 200 neonatal deaths were prevented in 1998 by the use of intrapartum antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Should vascular surgery patients be screened preoperatively for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus?
Bruce Y. Lee,Becky Y. K. Tsui,Rachel R. Bailey,Kenneth J. Smith,Robert R. Muder,Robert R. Muder,G. Jonathan Lewis,Lee H. Harrison +7 more
TL;DR: A decision-analytic computer simulation model showed preoperative MRSA testing to be cost-effective (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, <$50,000 per quality-adjusted life year) when the MRSA prevalence is ≥0.01 and the decolonization success rate is ≤0.25.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole Genome Sequencing to Investigate the Emergence of Clonal Complex 23 Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup Y Disease in the United States
Mary G. Krauland,Julie C. Dunning Hotopp,David R. Riley,Sean C. Daugherty,Jane W. Marsh,Nancy E. Messonnier,Leonard W. Mayer,Hervé Tettelin,Lee H. Harrison +8 more
TL;DR: Investigation of genetic differences between isolates from early and late N. meningitidis populations found changes in antigen profile likely allowed the late population to emerge due to escape from population immunity, and may predict which antigenic factors are important in the cyclic epidemiology of meningococcal disease.
Journal Article
Identification of a high-risk heterosexual population for HIV prevention trials in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Mauro Schechter,R. F. do Lago,M. F. de Melo,Haynes W. Sheppard,N. C. Guimarães,Ronaldo I. Moreira,José Cláudio Faulhaber,Sônia Maria Batista,Lee H. Harrison +8 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates the usefulness of the newly described S/LS assay which allows one to estimate HIV incidence from single serum specimens and identifies a heterosexual population in Rio de Janeiro with a high rate of HIV transmission willing to participate in placebo-controlled vaccine trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bias with respect to socioeconomic status: A closer look at zip code matching in a pneumococcal vaccine effectiveness study.
Ruth Link-Gelles,Daniel Westreich,Allison E. Aiello,Nong Shang,David J. Weber,Corinne Holtzman,Karen Scherzinger,Arthur Reingold,William Schaffner,Lee H. Harrison,Jennifer B. Rosen,Susan Petit,Monica M. Farley,Ann Thomas,Jeffrey Eason,Christine Wigen,Meghan Barnes,Ola Thomas,Shelley M. Zansky,Bernard Beall,Cynthia G. Whitney,Matthew R. Moore +21 more
TL;DR: In the context of a post-licensure vaccine effectiveness study, zip code appears to be an adequate, though not perfect, proxy for individual SES, and control of confounding subsets did not result in a meaningful change in estimated vaccine effectiveness.
