Short description of the study population

The study population included patients with acute myocardial infarction, aged 18 years or older, received HEPLISAV-B vaccine, registered in KPSC research data warehouse.
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Received at least one dose of hepatitis B vaccine (either HEPLISAV-B in HEPLISAV-B arm, or non-dialysis formulation hepatitis B comparator vaccine in comparator arm) at KPSC during study vaccination period.
2. Enrolled as a KPSC member at time of hepatitis B vaccination during the study vaccination period.
3. Age 18 years or older at time of hepatitis B vaccination during study vaccination period.
4. Received hepatitis B vaccine at KPSC family practice or internal medicine departments, or in urgent care or nurse clinics affiliated with those departments.

Exclusion Criteria:
1. Received peritoneal dialysis or chronic hemodialysis in the 3 months prior to index hepatitis B vaccination
2. Received all doses of their hepatitis B vaccine series in KPSC departments other than family practice or internal medicine or their affiliated departments as described above

Study design details

Main study objective

The primary objective of this post-marketing observational surveillance study was to compare the occurrence (rate) of confirmed acute myocardial infarctions between patients who received HEPLISAV-B and those who received Engerix-B.

Outcomes

The outcome of interest was the first occurrence of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) during the 13-month follow-up period for each patient. Confirmed AMI was defined as definite plus probable type 1 AMI., Unconfirmed type 1 AMI events using a historical comparator. This outcome was used for the final analysis of unconfirmed type 1 AMI events as well as the secondary analysis using a historical comparator. Type 1 AMI events in the historical comparator analysis were not adjudicated.

Data analysis plan

Baseline demographic and medical factors compared using standardized difference scores; multivariable Cox proportional hazards model applying inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) for the analysis of AMI.
