Study to Analyze the Risk Factors Associated With Pertussis/Whooping Cough Infection Among Infants

July 20, 2015 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

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.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 1 year (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Infants less than one-year of age born between 2005 and 2010 in a U.S. commercially insured population contained within the optum propertity database

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Date of birth between July 1, 2005 and September 30, 2010.
  • Enrollment in a commercial health plan within one month of birth.
  • Known sex and geographic region.
  • Infants will be included as a pertussis/whooping cough case if they meet the diagnosis criteria Infants not identified as a pertussis/whooping cough case are eligible for inclusion as a control.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Enrollment does not include medical and pharmacy coverage.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Pertussis Group
Infants less than one year of age diagnosed with pertussis/whooping cough infection within 12 months from birth (first year of life, between July 1, 2005 and September 30, 2010).
Other: Retrospective database study using administrative claims data
Data collection from OptumInsight proprietary research database which contains enrollment and claims data for individuals enrolled in commercial health plans.
Control Group
Infants with no evidence of pertussis/whooping cough during within 12 months from birth (first year of life, between July 1, 2005 and September 30, 2010).
Other: Retrospective database study using administrative claims data
Data collection from OptumInsight proprietary research database which contains enrollment and claims data for individuals enrolled in commercial health plans.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Assessment of claim identified pertussis/whooping cough
Time Frame: Up to one year
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.
Up to one year
Assessment of health care resource utilization
Time Frame: Up to one year
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.
Up to one year
Assessment of health care costs
Time Frame: Up to one year
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.
Up to one year

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
