Implication

High caregiver productivity losses from NPEV underscore societal burden; leaves open whether multivalent vaccines would reduce impacts.

Structured PICO

Population

Children under five years old (n=983,127-1,118,649) with ICD-9-CM codes 0740 (herpangina) or 0743 (hand-foot-and-mouth disease) from the 2006 to 2010 National Health Insurance Database in Taiwan.

Outcome

Disease burden and economic impacts (medical costs and indirect costs from the societal perspective, severity of enterovirus infection)

Caregiver productivity loss due to high rates of NPEV infection impacts society more than medical costs, suggesting a multi-valent vaccine may be beneficial.
