Construction of the base case scenario: RV cases in Saxony (RKI) or in AOK PLUS data set

Step 1: moving average = adjusted RKI cases per year 2005 2006 2007
2001–2005 2002–2006 2003–2007
0–1 years 1,587 1,796 1,818
1–2 years 1,959 2,044 2,080
2–3 years 985 1,000 1,002
3–4 years 548 545 525
4–5 years 335 331 318
Overall 5,413 5,716 5,744
Step 2: % annual increase in RV cases
0–1 years +0.13 +0.00
1–2 years +0.04 +0.01
2–3 years +0.00 +0.00
3–4 years −0.02 −0.05
4–5 years −0.03 −0.06
Average +0.04 +0.00
Step 3: counted-back AOK PLUS cases 2005 2006 2007
0–1 years 4,688 (in. = 703, out. = 3,985) 5,281 5,625
1–2 years 9,139 (in. = 640, out. = 8,500) 9,392 9,941
2–3 years 7,313 (in. = 366, out. = 6,947) 7,554 7,557
3–4 years 5,756 (in. = 230, out. = 5,525) 5,690 5,443
4–5 years 4,299 (in. = 172, out. = 4,127) 4,142 3,707
Overall 30,474 31,995 32,274
Step 4: incidence rates Inpatient Outpatient
0–1 years 0.04 0.22
1–2 years 0.04 0.47
2–3 years 0.02 0.39
3–4 years 0.01 0.32
4–5 years 0.01 0.24
Average 0.02 0.33
