Using Information to Close the Primary/Secondary Care Loop- Flu Vaccination Programme Arlene Reynolds & Jim McMenamin Health Protection Scotland SCIMP, Crieff, November 2013
Contents Influenza as a case study; How can we use routinely gathered data to close the loop and inform patient management? Aggregate level data Flu vaccine uptake & flu consultation Rates Individual level data Determinants of flu vaccine uptake & vaccine effectiveness & risk of death Now that kids are to be vaccinated how do we propose to describe the Public Health benefit?
Why vaccinate against Flu? In absence of a flu vaccination programme NHS Scotland would experience significant morbidity and mortality each season* 900 excess deaths 4700 excess hospitalisations 100,000 excess GP consultations *Extrapolation from - Baguelin M, Flasche S, Camacho A, Demiris N, et al. (2013) Assessing Optimal Target Populations for Influenza Vaccination Programmes: An Evidence Synthesis and Modelling Study. PLoS Med 10(10): e1001527. doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.1001527 http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001527
Flu Vaccine Uptake a success story Scotland is one of only three EU countries to consistently achieve a vaccine uptake of greater than 75% in those age 65 and over Uptake in under 65 s in CMO defined risk groups around 60% GP consultation rates for Influenza Like Illness (ILI) vary markedly each season but rates of illness much less in last decade c.f. pre- vaccination programme
What does Primary Care data tell us? Uptake by risk group? When season starts & magnitude compared with previous years? Who is affected most & Where? What Flu strains are responsible? If not Flu what is it (and do I need to treat it)? Is Flu Vaccine protecting the population?
Cumulative vaccine uptake by risk group over time season 2012/13 How quickly is offer of vaccine taken up? 100% Over 65 All risk groups (under 65) Chronic Respiratory Disease Chronic Heart Disease Chronic Renal Disease Chronic Liver Disease Chronic Neurological Disease Diabetes Immuno-compromised Pregnant/no risk** Pregnant/at risk** Carers 80% Vaccine uptake (%) 60% 40% 20% 0% Week 40 Week 42 Week 44 Week 46 Week 48 Week 50 Week 52 Week 2 Week 4 Week 6 Week 8 Week 10 Week 12 Week number ** The size of the pregnant population is derived from GP records on patients with pregnancy code. This results in changes in the population over the course of the season, as pregnancy status of patients changes.
When Season Starts & Magnitude? Since 2009 daily automated extraction of aggregate data from 99% of all practices on GP consultation rates for Influenza Like Illness (ILI) & Acute Respiratory Infections Rates vary markedly each season Timing of peaks in clinical presentations variable In the main around the time of the Festive season But earlier in 2003/4 And later in 2010/11

Vaccine effectiveness for entire season 21
Methods Method 1: Test Negative Case Control GP Sentinel Swabbing Scheme Interim & End of Season estimate Adjustment for UK site, time period, sex, flu strain Method 2: Cohort method Weekly download of individual level data from each practice Adjustment for a range of confounders Nested case control (Gold Standard) (Adhoc investigation of potential adverse reaction) Linkage to hospital data and deaths
Overall trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) adjusted vaccine effectiveness (VE) against all laboratory-confirmed influenza in primary care was 51% (95% confidence interval (CI): 27% to 68%); TIV adjusted VE against influenza A alone or influenza B alone was 49% (95% CI: -2% to 75%) and 52% (95% CI: 23% to 70%) respectively. Vaccination remains the best protection against influenza. 23
Cohort: Calculation of vaccine effectiveness Seasonal Flu Vaccine Time dependent covariate 14 days for consultation post vaccine to count Time dependent Cox regression Comparing Unvaccinated at time of consultation Vaccinated at time of consultation. 24
VE Clinical endpoint VE - - - All ages Age 65+ At risk under 65 21.8% (95% CI 1.9 to 37.6) -35.4% (95% CI -173.9 to 33.1) 28.6% (95% CI 4.0 to 47.0) Period is December 01, 2012 to February 28, 2013 Adjusting for age, gender, clinical risk group, deprivation, urban/rural, seasonal vaccination in previous year, number of ILIARI consultations in the previous year. 25
Linking primary & secondary care data What is the increased risk of death from influenza in clinical risk groups? Data linkage - primary care, laboratory, SMR1 & NRO(S) - the SIVE project Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (SARI) due to laboratory confirmed influenza 26
What does risk factor analysis of SARI cases tell us? 60 300.0 Influenza cases requiring ICU GP consultations for ILI 50 250.0 number of influenza ICU cases ILI Rate per 100,000 pop 40 200.0 30 150.0 20 100.0 10 50.0 0 0.0 2 4 6 8 2 4 6 8 2 4 6 8 40 42 44 46 48 50 52 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 40 42 44 46 48 50 52 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 40 42 44 46 48 50 52 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 season and week 27
Vaccine effect varies for different clinical endpoints deaths by season 2000 to 2008/9 Marked variation of vaccine effectiveness in any one year need to look at the average effect over time NIHR
Season 2013/14 Childhood extension of seasonal influenza vaccination programme with LAIV Fluenz Phase 1 (of 3) All Scottish 2 & 3 year olds ~ 120k Pilots in primary school (age 4 to 11 years) ~ 100k TNCC - Increased swabbing resource (from 2k to 3k samples) to allow better VE by age strata Cohort Increase cohort size from 27 to 47 practices ~ 300 350k patients Expand clinical data to include rotavirus & Zoster? 32

Uptake limited to 30% in 2-16 years; 2. Modelling includes indirect benefit through herd-immunity protection of adult groups; 3. Census data 2010/11 England & Scotland population estimates as 53 million & 5.3 million respectively
The future Applicability of public health surveillance programme approach to other vaccine preventable diseases? E.g. rotavirus, shingles etc Demonstration of their public health effectiveness Single data extraction of primary care data and linkage with other NHS datasets - SPIRE 35
