Mogasale; Amber Hsiao (2019) CC Open external link (414) Add to my MEDBOX https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.2019.09.099 Our analysis included 14 Asian countries that were estimated to have a total of 850,000 choleracases and 25,500 deaths in 2015 While, the WHO cholera report documented around 60,000 cholera casesand 28 deaths.

Lost productivity due to premature deaths was estimated to be $985.7 million (I$3,638.6 million).Our scenario analyses excluding mortality costs showed that the economic burden ranged from 20.3%($8.3 million) to 139.3% ($57.1 million) in high and low scenarios when compared to the base case sce-nario ($41 million) and was least at 10.1% ($4.1 million) when estimated based on cholera cases reportedto WH Tags: vaccine, burden of disease, economic burden, Cholera, Analysis, journal article, Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar
