The aim of this study was to evaluate the influenza vaccination status among paediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Poland. This was a questionnaire-based study. 242 patients with IBD and 142 controls were enrolled in the study. Of patients with IBD, 7.8% received an influenza vaccine, compared to 18.3% of controls (P = 0.0013). There were no statistically significant differences in time from IBD diagnosis, disease activity and in drugs, between vaccinated and non-vaccinated IBD children. In conclusion, the data of our study demonstrate an alarmingly poor influenza vaccination status in the majority of children with IBD. Therefore, there is an unmet need to implement better influenza vaccination strategies for this group of patients.
本研究旨在评估波兰炎症性肠病(IBD)儿科患者的流感疫苗接种状况。这是一项基于问卷调查的研究。共纳入 242 例 IBD 患者和 142 例对照。IBD 患者中,7.8%接受了流感疫苗接种,而对照组为 18.3%(P=0.0013)。接种组和未接种组 IBD 患儿在 IBD 诊断时间、疾病活动度和药物使用方面无统计学差异。总之,本研究数据表明,大多数 IBD 患儿的流感疫苗接种状况令人担忧。因此,需要为这组患者制定更好的流感疫苗接种策略。
