Epidemiology of respiratory syncytial virus in children younger than 5 years in England during the COVID-19 pandemic, measured by laboratory, clinical, and syndromic surveillance: a retrospective observational study

Megan Bardsley et al.

Summary: This study describes the epidemiological changes of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) among children under 5 years old in England since 2020. The study found that RSV activity was significantly reduced during the winter of 2020-21, but an unprecedented summer surge occurred in 2021. Rating: 9/10.

Representativeness, Vaccination Uptake, and COVID-19 Clinical Outcomes 2020-2021 in the UK Oxford-Royal College of General Practitioners Research and Surveillance Network: Cohort Profile Summary

Meredith Leston et al.

Summary: The Oxford-Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) Research and Surveillance Centre (RSC) is one of Europe's oldest sentinel systems, working with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for 55 years. In addition to conducting sentinel surveillance, the RSC now provides data for syndromic surveillance. The study shows that the RSC's population is broadly representative of the national population, and the center has expanded its reporting capabilities to include data on hospital outcomes and deaths. However, there is a need to improve virological and serological sampling.

Global varicella vaccination programs

Young Hwa Lee et al.

Summary: This study aims to establish the basis for the national varicella vaccine policy in Korea by reviewing countries that have introduced universal varicella vaccinations. The spread of varicella has led to an increase in countries providing 2-dose vaccinations. However, the efficacy and effectiveness of vaccination vary among vaccines and vaccination programs, requiring optimized strategies based on each country's local epidemiology and health resources.

Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Public Health Measures on Detections of Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Children During the 2020 Australian Winter

Daniel K. Yeoh et al.

Summary: Public health measures aimed at COVID-19 have led to significant reductions in respiratory syncytial virus and influenza detections among children in Western Australia during winter 2020, despite schools reopening. Border closures are likely playing a key role in limiting external introductions of respiratory viruses.

Implementation of remote consulting in UK primary care following the COVID-19 pandemic: a mixed-methods longitudinal study

Mairead Murphy et al.

Summary: During the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, UK general practices rapidly implemented remote consulting via telephone, video, or online platforms. There was universal agreement on the necessity of remote consulting, with a focus on vulnerable patients such as older patients, shielding patients, and those with poor mental health. The shift was successful in reducing contagion, but also raised concerns about increased clinical risk and the need for adjustments post-pandemic.

Describing the indirect impact of COVID-19 on healthcare utilisation using syndromic surveillance systems

Claire F. Ferraro et al.

Summary: The study describes the indirect impact of COVID-19 on healthcare utilization using syndromic indicators. It found that during the peak pandemic period in 2020, there was an increase in NHS 111 calls, a decrease in GPOOH consultations, and a significant reduction in ED attendances compared to the same period in 2019.

The impact of social and physical distancing measures on COVID-19 activity in England: findings from a multi-tiered surveillance system

Jamie Lopez Bernal et al.

Summary: The impact of social and physical distancing measures (SPDM) on COVID-19 activity in the UK was detectable within 1 week through various surveillance systems. The timing of peaks in surveillance indicators relative to the introduction of SPDM varied, with some indicators showing effects as early as 2 days and others taking up to 4 weeks to detect impacts. These findings highlight the importance of community surveillance systems in early detection of changes in COVID-19 activity.

Epidemiological Impact and Cost-Effectiveness of Varicella Vaccination Strategies in the United Kingdom

Esse Ifebi Herve Akpo et al.

Summary: The study assessed the cost-utility of implementing a first-dose monovalent or quadrivalent varicella vaccination program in the UK, showing comparable impact on varicella incidence between the two vaccines. The incidence of herpes zoster increased slightly in the short term after UVV initiation but decreased significantly in the long term.
