Trial summary

The objective of this study is to describe the burden associated with influenza in the UK, from both primary and secondary care perspectives, and to stratify the burden by the annual degree of mismatch between predicted and actual virus strains. Read more about this study

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female patients coded within the database as having acute respiratory events that could be related to an infection between 2001 and 2009.

About this study

Official title: The Cost of Illness Associated With Influenza in the UK

The objective of this study is to describe the burden associated with influenza in the UK, from both primary and secondary care perspectives, and to stratify the burden by the annual degree of mismatch between predicted and actual virus strains.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective, cross sectional, exploratory, observational study using database analysis and therefore there is no patient or user group involvement.

What participants receive

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

  • Data collectionOther

    Data of patients diagnosed with acute respiratory illness is extracted from General Practice Research Database (GPRD), Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), the Health Protection Agency (HPA), Office of National Statistics (ONS), and National Health Service (NHS) Reference Costs, during the period January 21st 2001 and March 31st 2009 inclusive.

    All analyses of primary care data (GPRD) and separately for secondary care (HES) data will be repeated for all eligible patients, and the subset of patients with a linkage to additional data (HES, ONS). All analysis including secondary care data will be restricted to the subset of patients with linked HES data. Estimates of average burden per patient and total burden in the UK will be performed. Burden is defined as both resource use and cost. Annual incidence and burden will be calculated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of influenza-related events

    Measured: Over the study time period (from January 21st 2001 to March 31st 2009 inclusive)

  2. Number of confirmed influenza infections

    Measured: Over the study time period (from January 21st 2001 to March 31st 2009 inclusive)

  3. Assessment of resource use

    Measured: Over the study time period (from January 21st 2001 to March 31st 2009 inclusive)

  4. Evaluation of patient outcomes, treatments and costs (type and duration)

    Measured: Over the study time period (from January 21st 2001 to March 31st 2009 inclusive)

  5. Cause of deaths

    Measured: Over the study time period (from January 21st 2001 to March 31st 2009 inclusive)

  6. Incidence of influenza-related events in High Risk groups

    Measured: Over the study time period (from January 21st 2001 to March 31st 2009 inclusive)

  7. Incidence of complications and exacerbations

    Measured: Over the study time period (from January 21st 2001 to March 31st 2009 inclusive)

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 2 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 2 Sep 2013. 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 influenza-related events (time frame: Over the study time period (from January 21st 2001 to March 31st 2009 inclusive)). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2 Sep 2013.
