About this study

Official title: Efficiency in Population of Influenza Vaccination for Seasonal 2012-2013 for Flu Prevention of the Hospitalized Adults: an Observational Study

This study assesses the seasonal of influenza vaccine effectiveness in adults hospitalised with laboratory-confirmed influenza through a network of hospitals in France

Read the detailed description

Influenza vaccination strategies aim at protecting high-risk population from severe outcomes. Estimating the effectiveness of seasonal vaccines against influenza related hospitalisation is important to guide these strategies. The objective is to measure the population effectiveness of influenza vaccine in patients hospitalized with virologically confirmed influenza laboratory during the influenza season 2012/2013 in a French hospitals network. This is a study "case-control" involving a nasopharyngeal sample for all hospitalised patients presenting an influenza-like illness within seven days. Cases will be patients RT-PCR positive for influenza. Controls will be patients negative for any influenza virus.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • nasopharyngeal sampleOther

    The nasopharyngeal sample will be used to find the types and subtypes of influenza virus and other respiratory viruses.

Nasopharyngeal sampleExperimentalone will be taken nasopharyngeal all patients hospitalized for 24 hours with ILI in the last seven days.
Receives: Other: nasopharyngeal sample

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure of vaccine efficacy in population by comparing the number of influenza cases virologically documented in hospitalized patients vaccinated and unvaccinated.

    The effectiveness of the vaccine in population will be calculated according to the formula VE = 1 - OR. an interval exact confidence of 95% will be calculated on the point estimate.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Measure of vaccine efficacy in population by comparing the number of influenza cases virologically documented in hospitalized patients vaccinated and unvaccinated according to age groups

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Measure of vaccine efficacy in population by comparing the number of influenza cases virologically documented in hospitalized patients vaccinated and unvaccinated depending on the subtypes.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Description of the population hospitalized for ILI (socio-demographic characteristics, risk factors, pattern and duration of hospitalization...)

    Measured: 6 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure of vaccine efficacy in population by comparing the number of influenza cases virologically documented in hospitalized patients vaccinated and unvaccinated. (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01764152, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
