Article Abstract
Purpose: The positive predictive value (PPV) of cervical cancer screening was projected to decrease in the era of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study at three U.S. healthcare systems during 2010-2018. Females aged 21-38 years with an abnormal cervical cancer screening test result for which colposcopy was guideline-recommended were included. We estimated age-specific PPVs of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or more severe diagnosis (≥ CIN 2) in HPV-vaccinated and unvaccinated females.
Results: The age-specific PPV point estimates were lower in vaccinated versus unvaccinated females in each age group (21-24; 25-29; and 30-38 years), but the difference was statistically significant only among 25-29-year-olds (PPV = 16.4% [95% CI (confidence interval), 14.6-18.4%] and PPV = 19.8% [95% CI 18.5-21.1%], respectively). Among vaccinated 25-29-year-olds, the PPV was lower in those who received their first dose at ≤ 20 versus > 20 years of age (PPV = 12.1% [95% CI 9.5-15.2%] and PPV = 18.8% [95% CI 16.4-21.4%], respectively). Among all age groups combined, the PPV was lower in vaccinated versus unvaccinated females.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that among females with a cervical test result recommended for colposcopy, the PPV for ≥ CIN2 was lower in those vaccinated versus unvaccinated, and was relatively lower in those vaccinated at younger ages. Future studies will have greater ability to estimate the impact of vaccination at the recommended age (9-12 years) on the PPV as more recent birth cohorts, who had greater vaccine uptake, age-in to screening eligibility.

Introduction: Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of lower respiratory infections, especially in children under 5 years old. While pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) have reduced disease burden in many countries, data from low- and middle-income countries are still limited. The objective of this prospective, hospital-based, cross -sectional study was to measure the prevalence of pneumococcal colonization and identify circulating serotypes among children <5 years and their caregivers in Cambodia and India.

Background: Vaccine confidence is crucial for achieving high vaccination rates against COVID-19, yet vaccine confidence varied significantly throughout the pandemic. This study assessed the trajectories and predictors of COVID-19 vaccine confidence from prior to the vaccine rollout to mass vaccination.
Methods: It is a population-based cohort study with nine waves of longitudinal data from September 2020 to February 2023, spanning the pre-vaccine rollout to COVID-19 mass vaccination in Hong Kong.

To compare HPV vaccination knowledge and non-adherence rates to cervical cancer screening in a nationally representative sample of American women before and following the COVID-19 pandemic, female participants aged 21-65 years from the National Cancer Institute Health Information National Trends Survey 2019 and 2022 were included. Adherence to cervical cancer screening was assessed based on the timing of their last Papanicolaou (PAP) smear, with participants classified as non-adherent to cervical cancer guidelines if their last PAP smear was > 3 years. Further, participants were asked about their knowledge of the HPV vaccine and were categorized as unaware if they had not heard of it before.

Background: Admission to shared hospital rooms are a risk factor of healthcare-associated (HA) SARS-CoV-2. Quantifying the impact of engineering controls such as ventilation and filtration is essential to informing resource utilization and infection prevention guidelines.
Methods: Multicenter test-negative study of patients exposed to SARS-CoV-2 in shared rooms across five hospitals between January and October, 2022.
