What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Had Positive Response to the Solicited Adverse Events Questionnaire Post 4th Dose of the Pentacel® Vaccination Series

    Positive response is a 'Yes' to any of the following questions:

    1. Has your child been admitted to a hospital?
    2. Has your child experienced an illness that made you fear for his/her life (life-threatening episode) that required attendance to the Emergency Room or a Physician's office?
    3. Has your child developed a medical condition that required 3 or more office or emergency room visits for that condition?
    4. Has your child been diagnosed by a physician as having:

    Low blood count or low platelet count? Swelling or redness of the joints? Asthma? Diabetes? Autism?

    Measured: 6 months post 4th dose vaccination

  2. Number of Participants Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAE) Post 4th Dose of the Pentacel® Vaccination Series and Relationship to Study Vaccine.

    SAE: any untoward medical occurrence with the following outcomes:

    • death,
    • a life-threatening adverse drug experience (as confirmed by the investigators),
    • inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,
    • a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or
    • a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Medical conditions that required 3 or more office or emergency room visits, and diagnosis by a physician of low blood cell count or low platelet count, swelling or redness of the joints, asthma, diabetes, or autism were also solicited. (MedDRA Version 6.0)
