Fig 6. Stacked bar plots of predicted absolute IPD cases per year from 2006 to 2031 in Germany for three different age groups (<2y, 16-59y, ≥60y).
The stacked bars illustrate the serotype groups defined in Table 1: PCV7 (G1; light blue), PCV13 non-PCV7–3 +6C (G2; red), serotype 3 only (G3; dark green), PCV15 non-PCV13 (G4; purple), PCV20 non-PCV15 (G5; cyan), PPSV23 non-PCV20 (G6; gray), Other serotypes (G7; light green). Heights of the individual bars correspond to the average model prediction without considering sensitivity of the model parameters (i.e., prediction intervals). Data points (reported IPD case numbers in Germany multiplied by an estimated year-specific underreporting factor) are shown as filled circles with 95% CIs. Age group 16-59y combines two (16-44y, 45-59y) and age group ≥60y combines three (60-74y, 75-84y, ≥85y) age groups of the model.
