Downloaded from 1 2 3 17 Abstract 4 5 18 Objectives: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of HPV DNA testing (versus Pap-based screening) for 6 7 8 19 cervical cancer screening in Nicaragua. 9 10 20 Design: A previously developed Monte Carlo simulation model of the natural history of HPV infection 11 12 21 and cervical cancer was calibrated to epidemiologic data from Nicaragua. Cost data inputs were derived 13 14 22 using a micro-costing approach in Carazo, Chontales, and Chinandega departments; test performance 15 For peer review only 16 17 23 data were from a demonstration project in Masaya department. 18 19 24 Setting: Nicaragua’s public health sector facilities. 20 21 25 Participants: Women aged 30 to 59 years. 22 23 24 26 Interventions: Screening strategies included 1) Pap testing every 3 years, with referral to colposcopy for 25 26 27 women with an ASCUS+ result (“Pap”); 2) HPV testing every 5 years, with referral to cryotherapy for 27 28 28 HPV-positive eligible women (HPV screen-and-treat, or “HPV-ST”); 3) HPV testing every 5 years, with 29 30 31 29 referral to triage with visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) for HPV-positive women (“HPV-VIA”); and 32 33 30 4) HPV testing every 5 years, with referral to Pap testing for HPV-positive women (“HPV-Pap”). http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 31 Outcome measures: Reduction in lifetime risk of cancer; incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER; 36 37 32 2015 US$ per year of life saved [YLS]). 38 39 40 33 Results: HPV-based screening strategies were more effective than Pap testing. HPV-ST was the least 41 on September 26, 2021 by guest. Protected copyright. 42 34 costly and most effective strategy, reducing lifetime cancer risk by 29.5% and outperforming HPV-VIA, 43 44 35 HPV-Pap, and Pap only, which reduced cancer risk by 19.4%, 12.2%, and 10.8%, respectively. With an 45 46 47 36 ICER of US$320/YLS, HPV-ST every 5 years would be very cost-effective using a threshold based on 48 49 37 Nicaragua’s per capita GDP of US$2,090. Findings were robust across sensitivity analyses on test 50 51 38 performance, coverage, compliance, and cost parameters. 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 2 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml Page 3 of 56 BMJ Open BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2016-015048 on 15 June 2017. Downloaded from 1 2 3 39 Conclusions: HPV testing is very cost-effective compared to Pap testing in Nicaragua, due to higher test 4 5 6 40 sensitivity and the relatively lower number of visits required. Increasing compliance with recommended 7 8 41 follow-up will further improve the health benefits and value for public health dollars. 9 10 42 11 12 13 14 15 For peer review only 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 on September 26, 2021 by guest.

The timely beginning of rains is the main factor enabling agricultural Health situation......................................... 3 activities to develop according to expectations, and access to productive means such as seeds and fertilizers is also important. Seasonal calendar Current hazards • High costs of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, which limit subsistence farmers’ access to these inputs. • Increase in fuel prices, which have generated increases in the prices of transportation, food and other products. • Increase in morbidity due to diarrheic and respiratory diseases that are most prevalent during the beginning of the rainy period. Rainy season Forecasts by the Nicaraguan Institute of Land Studies (INETER) indicate that the rainy period will be established throughout the country in the third dekad of May. An irregular distribution of rains is foreseen in the country, due to variations in both the beginning of the rainy period and the expected precipitation volumes (see Map 1).

  • Nicaragua: Floods
    Operation DREF n° MDRNI002 Nicaragua: GLIDE n° FL-2010-000106-NIC Floods 3 June 2010 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent emergency response. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. 36,248 Swiss francs (USD 31,341 US dollars /25,642 euro) has been allocated from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Nicaraguan Red Cross (NRC) in delivering immediate assistance to some 150 families, approximately 750 beneficiaries. Un- earmarked funds to replenish the DREF are encouraged. Summary: Nicaragua has been affected by heavy rains from the tropical storm Agatha. Five departments have been affected with León, Chinandega and Managua reporting major damages. The Nicaraguan Red Cross has carried out evacuations in the affected municipalities of the departments of León, Chinandega and Managua to collective centres established by the Ministry of Education in coordination with the National System for Prevention, Mitigation and Response to Disasters. The Quezalguaque bridge has been affected by the floods. Source: Nicaraguan Red Cross. This operation is expected to be implemented over three months, and will therefore be completed by 31 August 2010; a Final Report will be made available three months after the end of the operation (30 November). <Click here for the DREF budget; here for a map of the affected areas; and here for contact details> The Situation Since 26 May 2010, the Western Pacific Region of Nicaragua has been affected by intermittent rain with occasional moderate intensity as a result of the tropical depression Agatha.
