About this study

Official title: Risk Factors Associated With Pertussis Among Infants Less Than One-year of Age

This study aims to estimate the risk factors associated with pertussis/whopping cough infection among infants less than one year of age in a United States (U.S.) commercially insured population. The study will utilize a large research data base associated with a geographically diverse U.S. health plan not limited by one geographic area or disease outbreak to evaluate pertussis in infants between 2005 and 2010. Healthcare costs and utilization among infants with a reported diagnosis of pertussis/whooping cough stratified by the number of DTaP vaccinations received prior to infection will also be reported.

Read the detailed description

This study will utilize the OptumInsight proprietary research database which contains enrollment and claims data for individuals enrolled in commercial health plans to estimate the measureable demographic, clinical and historical economic risk factors that may be associated with medically diagnosed pertussis/whooping cough infection among commercially insured infants less than one-year of age. Healthcare costs and utilization among infants with a reported diagnosis of pertussis/whooping cough will be stratified by the number of DTaP vaccinations received prior to infection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of claim identified pertussis/whooping cough

    The endpoint(s) for the primary objective are the odds ratios associated with factors modelled in a logistic regression (conditional logit model) where the outcome is the diagnosis of pertussis/whooping cough. Demographic, economic and clinical risk factors available in the administrative claims database and potentially associated with pertussis/whooping cough infection will be estimated. Covariates will be determined based on clinical rationale and statistical significance.

    Measured: Up to one year

  2. Assessment of health care resource utilization

    Health care resource utilization (e.g. ambulatory visits, emergency department visits, inpatient hospitalizations, length of stay) will be calculated for infants with a reported diagnosis of pertussis/whooping cough stratified by the number of DTaP vaccinations received prior to infection.

    Measured: Up to one year

  3. Assessment of health care costs

    Health care costs will be computed as the combined health plan and patient paid amounts in the post-index period. Costs will be calculated as a total costs, medical costs, pharmacy costs, ambulatory costs, emergency costs and other costs and split by those occurring prior to the index date and those in the follow-up period. Costs will be adjusted to 2012 U.S. dollar values using the Medical Care Consumer Price Index.

    Measured: Up to one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diphtheria and Acellular Pertussis, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Assessment of claim identified pertussis/whooping cough (time frame: Up to one year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01890850, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jul 2015.
