Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination targeting females 12-13 years commenced in Australia in 2007, with catch-up of females 13-26 years until the end of 2009. No analyses of HPV vaccination program impact by either socioeconomic or geographic factors have been reported for Australia. Hospital admissions between July 2004-June 2011 involving a diagnosis of genital warts were obtained from a comprehensive national database. We compared sex- and age-specific admission rates in July 2006-June 2007 (pre-vaccination period) and July 2010-June 2011 (post-vaccination period) according to Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage, nationally and stratified by remoteness area relating to the individual's area of residence, using Poisson/ negative binomial models. Admission rates per 100,000 population in females aged 10-19 years (predominantly vaccinated at school), reduced from 42.2 to 6.0 (rate reduction 86.7 %; 95 % CI:82.2-90.0 %) in more disadvantaged areas and from 26.8 to 4.0 (85.0 %; 95 % CI:79.7-88.9 %) in less disadvantaged areas. In females aged 20-29 years (predominantly vaccinated in the community), the decreases were from 73.9 to 26.4 (66.0 %; 95 % CI:57.7-72.6 %) and from 61.9 to 23.8 (61.6 %; 95 % CI:52.9-68.7 %) in more and less disadvantaged areas, respectively. The reductions were similar in more vs less disadvantaged areas both inside major cities (88.6 %; 95 % CI: 82.2-92.7 % vs 87.9 %; 95 % CI:82.6-91.6 % in females aged 10-19 years; 64.0 %; 95 % CI:57.0-69.9 % vs 63.8 %; 95 % CI:52.9-72.1 % for females aged 20-29 years) and outside major cities (88.8 %; 95 % CI: 83.7-92.3 % vs 85.8 %; 95 % CI:73.5-92.4 % in females aged 10-19 years; 71.1 %; 95 % CI:58.8-79.7 % vs 67.6 %; 95 % CI:48.2-79.8 % for females aged 20-29 years). Admission rates in males aged 20-29 years also reduced, by 23.0 % (95 % CI:4.8-37.8 %) and 39.4 % (95 % CI:28.9-48.3 %) in more versus less disadvantaged areas respectively. The relative reduction in genital warts appears similar in young females across different levels of disadvantage, including within and outside major cities, both for females predominantly vaccinated at school and in the community.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 January 2020.
All research outputs
#6,236,389
of 24,323,543 outputs
Outputs from BMC Infectious Diseases
#1,904
of 8,137 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#96,785
of 406,099 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Infectious Diseases
#21
of 101 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,323,543 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,137 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 406,099 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 101 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
