Further study details as provided by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • all-cause mortality of residents at one year

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • hospitalizations of residents,morbidity of nursing home workers.
  • A cost-effectiveness ratio of influenza vaccination will be calculated

Estimated Enrollment: 4000
Study Start Date: September 2006
Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2007
Detailed Description:

Nursing homes will be randomized within each pair in two arms “incentive to vaccinate”, and “do-nothing”. In the arm “incentive to vaccinate”, vaccination campaigns will be carried out with face-to-face interviews of nursing home workers in order to achieve more than 80% of vaccination coverage. In the “do-nothing”, nursing home workers will be vaccinated as usual.

The main endpoint criterion is all-cause mortality of residents. Population sets will be all residents who will be present at start of the influenza season (-2 weeks) or who will be admitted during the influenza season (+ 2 weeks). Onset and end of influenza season will be given by regional influenza surveillance system. Secondary criteria are hospitalizations of residents, morbidity of nursing home workers. A cost-effectiveness ratio of influenza vaccination will be calculated.
