About this study

Official title: Burden of Influenza in the United Kingdom, 1996-2008

The study will assess the burden of influenza by age, risk status, vaccination status and influenza subtype, in order to create a complete profile of the burden of influenza-related morbidity and mortality in United Kingdom from 1996 to 2008.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Data collectionOther

    The study, will use four primary data sources: the General Practice Research Database (GPRD, for mild outcomes), the Hospital Episode Statistics database (HES, for hospitalizations), the Office of National Statistics mortality database (ONS, for mortality), and weekly virology data from the Health Protection Agency (HPA).

    Weekly time series of the rates of various influenza-related health outcomes in the various databases, such as office visits for acute otitis media and hospitalizations for pneumonia will be constructed. Statistical models, guided by weekly numbers of cases of laboratory-confirmed influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) contained in the HPA virology data, to estimate the portions of the various outcomes that can be attributed to influenza will be constructed. Finally, the seasonal impact of influenza by risk status, vaccination status, and seasons in which a well-matched versus mismatched influenza vaccine was used, will be assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of medically attended health outcomes (~20 relevant mild and severe) related to influenza

    Measured: From 1996 to 2008 (up to 13 years)

  2. Relative impact of influenza on high versus low risk populations

    Measured: From 1996 to 2008 (up yo 13 years)

  3. Relative impact of influenza during match versus mismatched seasons

    Measured: From 1996 to 2008 (up to 13 years)

  4. Relative impact of influenza on vaccinated versus unvaccinated populations

    Measured: From 1996 to 2008 (up to 13 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Influenza, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of medically attended health outcomes (~20 relevant mild and severe) related to influenza (time frame: From 1996 to 2008 (up to 13 years)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01520935, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
