Article collection: Beyond Big Data to new Biomedical and Health Data Science: moving to next century precision health

We are pleased to launch our new collection which provides examples on how big-data driven approaches might ultimately improve health outcomes and addresses data complexity, challenges facing this type of research, and other enablers and barriers. 

HepC

Research: Modelling the case for a universal hepatitis C vaccine

Using a mathematical model, researchers examined the potential impact of a hepatitis C vaccine on the feasibility and cost of achieving and 80% reduction in hepatitis C incidence by 2030, finding that many countries could achieve this reduction if a 75% efficacious vaccine with a 10-year duration of protection were available, and in a cost-effective manner, strongly supporting the case for hepatitis C vaccine development as an urgent public health need.

New Content Item

Research: Immunity levels for measles elimination

A modeling study determined age-specific immunity levels to ensure measles elimination, concluding levels needed for measles eradication are higher than previously estimated, suggesting school entry provides an opportunity to ensure sufficient vaccination coverage.

Correspondence: Fifteen years of epidemiology in BMC Medicine

Editorial Board Member Deborah Lawlor looks at how changes in the field of epidemiology are reflected in BMC Medicine’s publications over the past 15 years; discusses the potential of a triangulation framework for determining causality; and stresses the value of data sharing.

Aims and scope

BMC Medicine is the flagship medical journal of the BMC series. An open access, open peer-reviewed general medical journal, BMC Medicine publishes outstanding and influential research in all areas of clinical practice, translational medicine, medical and health advances, public health, global health, policy, and general topics of interest to the biomedical and sociomedical professional communities. We also publish stimulating debates and reviews as well as unique forum articles and concise tutorials.
