Study description

Pregnant women are at increased risk of severe disease and death due to influenza infection. During the influenza AH1N1 pandemic in 2009–2010, recommendations in France were to vaccinate pregnant women during the second and third trimester preferably with a non-adjuvant vaccine. However, few data are available concerning this drug in pregnant women. The aim of the study was to compare birth outcomes between exposed and unexposed women to influenza AH1N1 vaccine during pregnancy. This observational cohort study compared 2 groups of exposed and unexposed pregnant women in EFEMERIS. EFEMERIS is a database including prescribed and dispensed reimbursed drugs during pregnancy (data from Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie of Haute-Garonne) and outcomes (data from Maternal and Infant Protection Service and from Antenatal diagnosis Centre). Women who delivered from October 21th 2009 to November 30th 2010 in Haute-Garonne and were registered in the French Health Insurance Service have been included.
