This report, produced by Health Protection Scotland (HPS) on behalf of FSS, assessed the direct healthcare costs associated with campylobacter infection in Scotland.

Summary

This report, produced by Health Protection Scotland (HPS) on behalf of FSS, assessed the direct healthcare costs associated with campylobacter infection in Scotland.

The study explored the cost differences across age and deprivation (SIMD) category to identify key population groups with the highest financial burden from campylobacter.  It has identified the groups where reductions in the incidence of campylobacter would potentially have the greatest impact on the costs incurred by the health service.
