What is being measured

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

  1. Total number of HZ cases reported in the study area, overall and within a specific age-group and gender. The following age-groups will be considered: 60-69, 70-79 and ≥ 80 years of age.

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

  2. Occurrence of HZ-associated PHN pain, persisting between 90 and 270 days after the initial visit for this study.

    Measured: Day 90 - Day 270

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Occurrence of HZ-associated hospitalisations.

    Measured: Day 0 - Day 270

  2. Occurrence of HZ-associated any pain, persisting between 0 and 270 days after the initial visit for this study.

    Measured: Day 0 - Day 270

  3. Anamnestic information, clinical parameters and complications related to HZ.

    Measured: Day 0 - Day 270

  4. Direct medical, direct non-medical and indirect costs related to HZ.

    Measured: Day 0 - Day 90

  5. Quality of life (QoL) assessment in HZ subjects.

    Measured: Day 0 - Day 90

  6. Direct medical, direct non-medical and indirect costs related to PHN.

    Measured: Day 90 - Day 270

  7. QoL assessment in PHN subjects.

    Measured: Day 90 - Day 270

  8. Impact of the following factors on the development of PHN: - age, - gender, - concomitant disease, - current immunosuppressive therapy, - HZ severity at first consultation, - timing of initiation of treatment with antiviral agent etc.

    Measured: Day 0 - Day 270
