  1. WHO measles mortality estimates, 2000-2009 Emily Simons Global Measles Management Meeting 17 March 2010

  2. Overview • Background • Brief description of method • Provisional results • Next steps

  3. Background • 3 progressively more refined models of measles mortality since 2000 Stein 2003, Wolfson 2007, Ferrari 2011 • 2011 model addresses QUIVER recommendations to incorporate: • surveillance data • dynamic transmission • herd immunity • objective definition for countries that have highly reliable surveillance data • Country consultation: letters sent to 119 countries

  4. Overview of 2011 measles mortality estimation method • Annual country-specific cases estimated by method called state-space model • Cases distributed across age groups • Age, country, and year-specific CFRs applied to cases

  5. State-space model • For each country independently, model compares two data for each year: a) reported cases and b) number of susceptibles based on susceptible-infected-recovered model • # of true cases estimated for year t, with random error added • Subtract these cases from susceptibles, repeat process for year t+1 • 1,000 iterations give distribution of most likely number of cases for time series

  6. Age distribution • 172,191 line-listed cases from 102 countries • Outcome: age group • Explanatory variables: • GBD Region • MCV1 coverage Predicted age distribution of reported measles cases by MCV1 coverage level and region

  7. Case fatality ratios • Age and country-specific CFRs from Wolfson IJE 2009 updated for new studies Nepal and India • Indexed to U5MR to reflect evidence of decline in deaths due to pneumonia, diarrhoea and malnutrition

  8. Provisional global estimated measles mortality and reported cases 74% global mortality reduction over 2000-2009

  9. New model vs. Lancet model measles mortality estimates 79% 74%

  10. Estimated measles deaths and reduction in mortality since 2000* 79% 87% 26% 82% *provisional

  11. Estimated total measles deaths in 2000 and 2009

  12. Next steps • Respond to feedback from country consultation • Many supportive responses, but some feel the data do not reflect their reality • Will modify input data, may modify structural features like herd immunity • Key challenge: how to identify when surveillance sensitivity has changed? • Clearance: required to fit within estimates of overall declining child mortality and estimated declines in other causes of child mortality • Challenge: non-V.P. diseases do not have annual surveillance/coverage data  very different methods, with much greater lag time • Peer review

  13. Back-up slides

  14. Measles mortality estimates, African Region 87% 93%

  15. Measles mortality estimates, Eastern Mediterranean Region 96% 79%

  16. Measles mortality estimates, South-East Asia Region 48% 26%

  17. Measles mortality estimates, Western Pacific Region 93% 82%
