Economic burden of pertussis and its determinants in Zhejiang Province, China: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the economic burden and associated factors of pertussis in specific areas within Zhejiang Province. Additionally, we aim to identify the key factors that impact total expenses and provide evidence to guide vaccination strategies, thereby curbing the escalating prevalence of pertussis. This study conducted a survey and hospital medical records review to investigate the direct economic burden(healthcare costs) and indirect economic burden (non-healthcare costs) on patients' families, as well as a summary utility index value. The questionnaire was designed to incorporate the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) and health utility values were calculated using the Chinese health utility value scoring system. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify potential factors that may influence these costs. The study surveyed a total of 458 cases of pertussis. Among them, the average direct cost, average indirect cost, and average total cost of outpatient treatment were 728.36 CNY, 1163.86 CNY, and 1892.22 CNY, respectively, with a total of 331,138.48 CNY. The average direct cost, average indirect cost, and average total cost of inpatient treatment were 8,814.32 CNY, 1,483.53 CNY, and 10,297.85 CNY, respectively, with a total of 29,142,91.84 CNY. The direct economic burden, indirect economic burden, and total economic burden of pertussis cases reported in Zhejiang province is expected to reach 21.5259 million, 5.1191 million, and 26.6450 million, respectively.The patients'health description system index score averaged (0.96 ± 0.10) points, while the VAS(Visual Health Assessment) score averaged (81.28 ± 12.90) points. Multivariable logistic regression identified four significant predictors of total hospitalization costs: the number of hospitalization days、the number of complications、the type of medical institution and age. The economic burden attributable to pertussis is significant and demands attention. It is imperative to optimize immunization strategies to mitigate potential resurgence in case incidence.
