Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Menactra Vaccine RecipientsParticipants who received Menactra vaccine as part of routine medical care during the study period in Kaiser Permanente.
Receives: Biological: None administered in this study
Age-Matched ControlEach individual receiving Menactra vaccine served as their own control for evaluation of acute (Days 0-30) events (short-term surveillance). For the 6-month (long-term) surveillance, for each person receiving Menactra vaccine, a control matched on age (± 1 year), sex, and month of vaccination was selected who received a received tetanus and diphtheria toxoids (Td), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or hepatitis A/hepatitis B combination vaccine as part of routine medical care during the same month 1 year earlier in Kaiser Permanente
Receives: Biological: None administered in this study

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Summary of Diagnoses With Significantly Elevated Findings From Risk-Window vs. Control-Window Comparisons: All Ages Combined - Short-Term Passive Surveillance

    Incidence rates for each diagnosis were calculated as the number of events divided by person-time and expressed as events per 1,000 person-months in each 30-day comparison window. Individuals receiving Menactra vaccine served as their own controls for evaluation of acute (Days 0-30) events. Rates of events occurring during Days 0-30 following vaccination were compared to rates of events occurring during Days 31-60 following vaccination. Clinical setting is given in parenthesis as either (H) for hospital or (ER) for emergency room.

    Measured: Day 0 up to Day 60 post-vaccination

What does the primary outcome measure?

Summary of Diagnoses With Significantly Elevated Findings From Risk-Window vs. Control-Window Comparisons: All Ages Combined - Short-Term Passive Surveillance (time frame: Day 0 up to Day 60 post-vaccination). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00254995, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
