What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of the overall sero-prevalence of Bordetella pertussis infection among subjects with respect to anti-pertussis (anti-PT) antibody levels.

    Measured: Day 0 of each subject at the time of enrollment.

  2. Evaluation of the overall sero-prevalence of Bordetella pertussis infection among subjects with respect to anti-PT seropositivity status.

    Measured: Day 0 of each subject at the time of enrollment.

  3. Evaluation of the overall sero-prevalence of Bordetella pertussis infection among subjects with respect to anti-PT seronegativity status.

    Measured: Day 0 of each subject at the time of enrollment.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evaluation of the sero-prevalence of B. pertussis antibodies among healthcare professionals aged ≥ 18 years.

    By age and gender, by type of healthcare professional, by hospital department of the healthcare professional, duration of service and time spent with patients.

    Measured: Day 0 of each subject at the time of enrollment.

  2. Evaluation of the sero-prevalence of anti-pertussis antibodies among healthcare professionals by vaccination history.

    Measured: Day 0 of each subject at the time of enrollment.

  3. Evaluation of the sero-prevalence of anti-pertussis antibodies among healthcare professionals by previous history of pertussis.

    Measured: Day 0 of each subject at the time of enrollment.

  4. Description of the knowledge and beliefs about whooping cough and vaccination against pertussis among healthcare professionals.

    Measured: Day 0 of each subject at the time of enrollment.

  5. Description of the household composition of healthcare professionals to identify the proportion of healthcare professionals potentially at a higher risk of contracting and transmitting pertussis.

    Measured: Day 0 of each subject at the time of enrollment.
