HPV-vaccination for the prevention of cervical cancer in Austria: a model based long-term prognosis of cancer epidemiology

Abstract: Aim: Cervical cancer incidence and mortality have decreased for the last 20 years in Austria; however, they remain relatively high in comparison to other European countries. Screening quality has been suboptimal. In this paper we aim to predict the population-wide long-term effects on cervical cancer morbidity and mortality after introducing an HPV vaccination for 12-year-old girls (and boys) in addition to current screening in comparison with screening only. Methods: Health effects are predicted by a dynamic transmission model that was previously applied in the UK and the Norwegian contexts and validated for Austria. Outcomes analyzed are restricted to cervical cancer mortality and morbidity, which are predicted until 2060 assuming a coverage rate between 65% and 85%, a duration of protection between 10 years and lifelong, and a vaccine efficacy between 80% and 100% in the base case and best case, respectively. Additionally, implications for cancer epidemiology until 2088 are esti
