Dear Arjan,
I’m available for both online or onsite discussion.
Your comment is very helpful. Here is my thought taking account of your suggestion, let me know my understanding is correct.
If the coverage of the needle safety intervention is 50% and the efficacy is 90%, then the updated transmission rate would be:
beta = beta_0 * (1 – 0.5 *…[Read more]

Dear Arjan,
Thank you for your insightful comment. Here are my initial thoughts.
Whether to include multiple stages of infection: The model is being used to simulate the long-term dynamics of HCV transmission and the impact of different interventions, then it may be necessary to include multiple stages of infection, such as acute infection,…[Read more]

Dear Arjan,
Thanks for the suggestion, I’m reading up on the literature to get a better understanding as well. Although I have a simple research question “What are the key factors that contribute to the transmission of hepatitis C in Myanmar?” it can be updated if the existing literature point me in a different direction or I found there is a…[Read more]

Building up from Week 2 Discussion, to answer the first question,
What intervention(s) you are considering in your modeling and how it will be added to the model structure?
Safe sex practices: This can be represented in the model by reducing the transmission rate, beta.
Needle safety: This can be represented in the model by reducing the rate of…[Read more]

In Week 1, I stated that I’m interested in Hepatitis Model, so to answer the first question
What model structure would the disease you are interested be and please start adjusting the R code to that structure.
I first started looking at the literatures,
I found for Hepatitis SEIR model is used before. My reasoning can be found here. SEIR model…[Read more]

Dear Preut,
Thanks for your ideas. I like them. Regards to Health as a bridge for peace, I also think it is very possible, with a lot of Myanmar public eager for a federal systems, if there is cessation of conflicts soon, we should be able to start a dialogue for decentralization. I hoped the 2021 Military coup won’t have much permanent…[Read more]

For the 1st question,
I would definitely like to apply these results in my hospital. Sepsis is a very serious condition, and it is important to do everything we can to prevent deaths and admissions to the ICU.
Specifically, I would use these results to develop a risk stratification tool for patients with sepsis. This tool would allow us to…[Read more]

This is an interesting paper,
For the first question,
In my opinion, RWE outcomes should be considered supportive results to clinical trials, but they should not be taken as definitive evidence of the efficacy or safety of a medication. Clinical trials are still the gold standard for evaluating the effectiveness and safety of medications, but RWE…[Read more] -

This is also an interesting paper, so for discussion I write mainly from the point of view of house office, which I myself have to go through,
1) In Myanmar,

This is a very timely paper for me, I read it and let me share my two cents,
1) In Myanmar
Lack of infrastructure: Myanmar has a limited telecommunications infrastructure, which can make it difficult to access telemedicine services.
Lack of government support: The government of Myanmar has not yet fully embraced telemedicine, which has made it…[Read more]
