    Abstract In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) has set the goal of eliminating hepatitis C by reducing incidence of chronic viral hepatitis and related mortality by 2030 with the interim target of achieving 30% prevalence reduction by 2020. While The global prevalence of hepatitis C is known to be around 1.6%, the prevalence of hepatitis C in South Korea is 0.5-0.6% based on hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody-positive rate. Although HCV antibody test has been included in the Annual National Health and Nutrition Survey in South Korea since 2012, a national initiative to eliminate hepatitis C was initiated by small clinic-related hepatitis C outbreaks in 2015-2016. These outbreaks caused by inappropriate use of syringes in 2015-2016 prompted the revision of hepatitis C reporting and control strategies in Korea following long-term discussion on including the HCV antibody test in the National Health Screening at a certain age. Since June 3, 2017, all hepatitis C cases should be reported to the Korea Disease Control Agency (KDCA). A pilot study for early detection of hepatitis C was conducted for the 56 years old population from September 1 to October 31 in 2020 by temporarily including HCV Ab in the National Health Screening followed by HCV RNA testing for HCV antibody positive cases. The final decision to include HCV antibody test in National Health Screening will be made based on results of the pilot study in 2020. To eliminate hepatitis B & C by 2030 in South Korea, the KDCA established a comprehensive viral hepatitis control and management system in 2020 with the interim goal of achieving an antibody positive rate of 0.3% and treatment rate of 90% by 2025.

    Abstract To discuss whether the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), World Health Organization (WHO) organized the 15-member International Health Regulations Emergency Committee (EC). On January 22-23 and January 30, 2020, EC convened and discussed whether the situation in China and other countries would constitute PHEIC and issued recommendations for WHO, China and the international community. Based on the recommendations of EC, WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a PHEIC. One of the purposes of the declaration of PHEIC was to alarm countries with weak public health infrastructures to prepare promptly for emerging infectious diseases (EID) and provide WHO with a framework for proactively supporting those countries. On February 3, 2020, WHO proposed the 2019 COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan, which includes accelerating research and development (R&D) processes as one of three major strategies. On February 11-12, 2020, WHO held the Global Research and Innovation Forum: Towards a Research Roadmap for COVID-19. The fact that a COVID-19 R&D forum was the first meeting convened after the PHEIC declaration testifies to the importance of R&D in response to EID. Korea has demonstrated a remarkable capacity in its laboratory response by conducting high-throughput COVID-19 testing and utilizing innovative drive-through samplings. These measures for early detection and screening of cases should be followed by full efforts to produce research-based evidence by thoroughly analyzing epidemiological, clinical and immunological data, which will facilitate the development of vaccines and therapeutics for COVID-19. It is expected that Korea plays a global partner for COVID-19 research by actively participating in immediate and mid/long-term priorities jointly led by WHO and global partners.

    Abstract Following SARS-CoV-2 infection, subsequent ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 induced similar neutralizing antibody levels against the original strain but significantly higher levels against the Omicron variant compared to those who were not vaccinated. Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection exhibited higher neutralization antibody titers than vaccination alone for both original strains and the Omicron variant.

    Abstract Background: The effects of comorbidities on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been usually studied individually in the past. In this study, we aimed to investigate the comorbidities associated with mortality, the effect of multimorbidity on mortality and other factors associated with mortality among Korean COPD population.
    Methods: The Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort version 2.0, collected between 2002 and 2015, was used. Among COPD patients [entire cohort (EC), N = 12,779], 44% of the participants underwent additional health examination, and they were analysed separately [health-screening cohort (HSC), N = 5624]. Fifteen comorbidities previously reported as risk factors for mortality were studied using Cox proportional hazards regression models.
    Results: Total mortality rates were 38.6 per 1000 person-years (95% CI 37.32-40.01) and 27.4 per 1000 person-years (95% CI 25.68-29.22) in EC and HSC, respectively. The most common causes of death were disease progression, lung cancer, and pneumonia. Only some of the comorbidities had a direct impact on mortality. Multimorbidity, assessed by the number of comorbid diseases, was an independent risk factor of all-cause mortality in both cohorts and was a risk factor of respiratory mortality only in HSC. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed significant differences in survival trajectories according to the number of comorbidities in all-cause mortality but not in respiratory mortality. Low BMI, old age and male sex were independent risk factors for both mortalities in both cohorts.
    Conclusions: The number of comorbidities might be an independent risk factor of COPD mortality. Multimorbidity contributes to all-cause mortality in COPD, but the effect of multimorbidity is less evident on respiratory mortality.

    Abstract Preventing perinatal transmission is important for hepatitis B (HepB) elimination. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to assess the interval between HepB birth-dose (HepB-BD) to second-dose (HepB-SD) vaccination on perinatal transmission. Among 39,313 infants born to HepB s-antigen (HBsAg)-positive mothers from a Korean national database 38,411 (97.7%) had completed timely immunophylaxis with HepB-BD 41,572 (99.8%) with hepatitis B immune globulin, and 1027 (2.6%) were HBsAg-positive at ≥ 9 months. Maternal factors (i.e. HepB e-antigen status, age, or nationality) were associated with an increased risk of infection whereas short gestational length decreased it. The HepB-BD - HepB-SD interval (<8 vs. ≥8 weeks) did not alter the risk.

    Abstract Japanese encephalitis (JE) is endemic in the Western Pacific Region. We aim to describe the regional status of control of JE, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) surveillance data, and to share the experience from the Republic of Korea. Substantial progress has been made in the region to date; however, epidemiologic changes have not been delineated. The vaccination coverage should be addressed to close the immunity gap. The lessons learned from Korea may aid in establishing a high-quality surveillance system with a sustainable JE vaccination program in order to prepare for new challenges that this region will face.
