Clinical Trial to Assess the Influenza Vaccination (FLUVAC 02) (FLUVAC EV-02)

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

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Nasopharyngeal sample
one will be taken nasopharyngeal all patients hospitalized for 24 hours with ILI in the last seven days.
The nasopharyngeal sample will be used to find the types and subtypes of influenza virus and other respiratory viruses.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
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
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.
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
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
Time Frame: 6 months
6 months
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.
Time Frame: 6 months
