Frailty is a risk factor for adverse influenza-related outcomes. We assessed the effectiveness of high-dose (HD-IIV) versus standard-dose (SD-IIV) influenza vaccination according to frailty score (FS).
This was a post-hoc analysis of the randomized feasibility trial of HD-IIV versus SD-IIV conducted during the 2021-2022 influenza season in older adults aged 65-79 years. We assessed prespecified outcomes including hospitalizations and mortality as time to first and recurrent events. Frailty was defined according to the Hospital Frailty Risk Score.
Among 12,477 included participants (mean age 71.7 years, 47.1% female), 10,689 (85.7%) were categorized as having low frailty (<5 points) and 1,784 (14.3%) had intermediate or high frailty (≥5 points). HD-IIV versus SD-IIV was associated with a lower risk of first and recurrent hospitalizations for pneumonia or influenza regardless of FS (Low frailty: 22 events, HR 0.37, 95% CI 0.15- 0.96; 25 recurrent events, IRR 0.31, 95% CI 0.11- 0.84. Intermediate or high frailty: 16 events, HR 0.33, 95% CI 0.11-1.01; 18 recurrent events, IRR 0.28, 95% CI 0.09-0.92. Pinteraction 0.92 and 0.93, respectively). FS modified the association of HD-IIV versus SD-IIV with all-cause mortality (Pinteraction 0.022), with an association with reduced risk in participants with low frailty only (43 events, HR 0.26, 95% CI 0.13 to 0.55).
HD-IIV was associated with a lower risk of first and recurrent hospitalizations for pneumonia and influenza compared with SD-IIV and may be preferred for older adults irrespective of frailty status. FS modified the association of HD-IIV versus SD-IIV with all-cause mortality.
衰弱是流感相关不良结局的一个风险因素。我们根据衰弱评分(FS)评估了高剂量(HD-IIV)与标准剂量(SD-IIV)流感疫苗接种的效果。
这是一项对2021 - 2022年流感季节期间在65 - 79岁老年人中进行的HD-IIV与SD-IIV随机可行性试验的事后分析。我们评估了预先设定的结局,包括住院和死亡情况,并将其作为首次和复发事件的时间。衰弱根据医院衰弱风险评分来定义。
在纳入的12477名参与者中(平均年龄71.7岁,47.1%为女性),10689名(85.7%)被归类为低衰弱(<5分),1784名(14.3%)有中度或高度衰弱(≥5分)。无论FS如何,HD-IIV与SD-IIV相比,肺炎或流感首次和复发住院的风险较低(低衰弱:22例事件,HR 0.37,95%CI 0.15 - 0.96;25例复发事件,IRR 0.31,95%CI 0.11 - 0.84。中度或高度衰弱:16例事件,HR 0.33,95%CI 0.11 - 1.01;18例复发事件,IRR 0.28,95%CI 0.09 - 0.92。交互作用P值分别为0.92和0.93)。FS改变了HD-IIV与SD-IIV与全因死亡率的关联(交互作用P值0.022),仅在低衰弱参与者中与降低风险相关(43例事件,HR 0.26,95%CI 0.13至0.55)。
与SD-IIV相比,HD-IIV与肺炎和流感首次及复发住院的较低风险相关,并且对于老年人可能是首选,无论其衰弱状态如何。FS改变了HD-IIV与SD-IIV与全因死亡率的关联。
