Study design details

Main study objective

1. To evaluate participating databases on quality criteria for inclusion in the study 2. To provide incidence rates within specific risk windows after each dose of wP or aP vaccine in pre-school children and within the periods outside the risk windows (baseline) for a benefit/risk analysis model3. T

Outcomes

Exposure of interestAny wP vaccines and aP pertussis-containing vaccines and their doses in the vaccine schedule (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5)Outcomes Injection site reactions: erythema, edema, induration/nodule/sterile abscess, pain/tenderness Fever Somnolence Persistent crying, irritability Generalized convulsive seizures HHE Extensive limb swelling

Data analysis plan

Data Analysis: The purpose of this study is to provide incidence rates (i.e. baseline and risk-window specific) of known adverse reactions following vaccination with pertussis-containing vaccines for use in a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) model of benefits and risks of wP versus aP pertussis vaccines (models are described in a separate benefit-risk study protocol). In some more recent databases, wP information will not be captured. To generate risk-window specific incidence rates for the wP period in these databases, the IR ratio originating from an SCCS analysis of wP versus baseline in other databases will be multiplied by the baseline IR.
