Estimated Reduction in the Burden of Nontyphoidal Salmonella Illness in Canada Circa 2019
Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) is a leading cause of acute gastrointestinal illness in Canada, and reported cases have been on the rise since the early 2000s. To address this trend, agri-food industry partners and government have worked to identify and implement interventions, guided by the enhanced...

description | Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) is a leading cause of acute gastrointestinal illness in Canada, and reported cases have been on the rise since the early 2000s. To address this trend, agri-food industry partners and government have worked to identify and implement interventions, guided by the enhanced information provided by whole-genome sequencing, to reduce the incidence of NTS. A substantial reduction in the number of NTS cases reported occurred in 2019. Due to underreporting and underdiagnosis factors, the observed decrease in the number of reported cases represents a fraction of the true number of illnesses averted in the community. The objective of this study was to: (1) use burden of illness estimation methodologies to estimate the true number of NTS illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths prevented, and (2) estimate the economic savings associated with the prevention of these cases. Compared with the previous 5 years, there were an estimated 25,821 fewer illnesses, 213 fewer hospitalizations, and 2 fewer deaths attributable to NTS in 2019. This corresponds to an estimated reduction of 26.9 million Canadian dollars in the economic burden of NTS. Although causality cannot be proven by this study, the findings are suggestive that the strategically implemented suite of public health actions, including genomic-based surveillance, policy changes, and interventions by the government and industry, were successful in reducing the economic and health burden of NTS infections in Canada. |
