Table A3.
Inputs | Detail | How to report | Report by sex? |
---|---|---|---|
Natural history | Nature history structure used in the model (including progression and regression from high grade to low grade disease/productive HPV infection). | Report progression status by age and/or by time since infection and HPV type. (Comment on whether progression rates change according to time since HPV infection or by age). | As appropriate to evaluation |
Rate of clearance of HPV infection | Report by age and/or by time since infection and HPV type | As appropriate to evaluation | |
Rate of loss of naturally acquired immunity | Report by age and/or by time since infection and HPV type | As appropriate to evaluation | |
Simulation of latency by HPV type (handling of apparently new infections in older women – is the possibility that some are reactivated latent infections explored in sensitivity analysis?) | Report proportional reduction in true HPV incidence, by age or time since infection and HPV type. Also report assumptions about re-activated latent infection (i.e. whether there is differential progression to precancer or cancer) | As appropriate to evaluation | |
Vaccination∗ | Vaccine coverage at older ages | Report by age | As appropriate to evaluation |
Whether screen-and-vaccinate is being modelled, or just vaccination at older ages (without linking to screening/HPV status) | Report screening strategy (if any including screening and triage test, interval and age-range and management strategy for those who are vaccinated) | As appropriate to evaluation |
HPV-FRAME core reporting standards and reporting standards for models of vaccination in adolescent individuals (Table A1) are also applicable.
