The protection duration of herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination is unclear among patients with autoimmune (AI) diseases.
Using 2006-2013 Medicare data, HZ vaccinated patients with AI were matched 1:2 to unvaccinated HZ. Incidence rates (IR) and adjusted risk ratios over time were calculated using Poisson regression.
Of 59,627 vaccinated patients, crude IR increased from 0.75/100 person-years during the first year post-vaccination to 1.25 during the seventh year. Vaccinated patients had a significantly lower risk of HZ compared with the unvaccinated through 5 years.
HZ vaccination was significantly protective only for about 5 years among patients with AI.
自身免疫性(AI)疾病患者中带状疱疹(HZ)疫苗的保护持续时间尚不清楚。
利用2006 - 2013年医疗保险数据,将接种HZ疫苗的AI患者与未接种HZ疫苗的患者按1:2进行匹配。使用泊松回归计算随时间变化的发病率(IR)和调整后的风险比。
在59627名接种疫苗的患者中,粗发病率从接种后第一年的0.75/100人年增加到第七年的1.25。在5年时间里,接种疫苗的患者患HZ的风险明显低于未接种疫苗的患者。
HZ疫苗仅在约5年时间内对AI疾病患者具有显著保护作用。
