Vaccine patterns among patients diagnosed with Guillain-Barr é Syndrome and matched counterparts in a Medicare supplemental population, 2000-2020
Vaccine. 2023 Aug 10:S0264-410X(23)00947-7. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.08.014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSome vaccines have a small risk of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by paralysis if untreated. The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) guidelines do not consider GBS a precaution for future vaccines unless GBS developed within six weeks after a tetanus-toxoid-containing vaccine or influenza vaccine. Our goal was to describe vaccine patterns before and after GBS diagnosis. We matched each of 709 patients diagnosed with GBS from 2002 to 2020 with Medicare ...

Assessing the representativeness of cluster randomized trials: Evidence from two large pragmatic trials in United States nursing homes
CONCLUSION: In both trials, facility-level characteristics of randomized nursing homes differed considerably from those of eligible non-randomized and ineligible facilities, while there was little difference in resident-level characteristics across the three groups. Investigators should assess the characteristics of clusters that participate in cluster randomized trials, not just the individuals within the clusters, when examining the applicability of trial results beyond participating clusters.PMID:37493171 | DOI:10.1177/17407745231185055

High-dose influenza vaccines for the prevention of hospitalization due to cardiovascular events in older adults in the nursing home: Post-hoc analysis of a cluster-randomized trial
Vaccine. 2022 Oct 13:S0264-410X(22)01215-4. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.09.085. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOlder adults are at high risk of major acute cardiovascular events (MACE) linked to influenza illness andpreventable by influenza vaccination. It is unknown whether high-dose vaccine might incrementally reduce the risk of MACE.We conducted a post-hoc analysis of data collected from a pragmatic cluster randomized study of 823 nursing homes (NH) randomized to standard-dose (SD) or high-dose (HD) influenza vaccine in the 2013-14 season. Adults age 65 year or older who are Medicare-enrolled long-stay residents were inc...

Pneumococcal vaccination coverage among adults newly diagnosed with underlying medical conditions and regional variation in the U.S
CONCLUSION: Pneumococcal vaccination remains low and most adults with underlying conditions are unvaccinated. Insights into factors associated with vaccination, including regional variability, can help to increase pneumococcal vaccination.PMID:35803847 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.06.068

Financial incentives tied to Medicare star ratings: impact on influenza vaccination uptake in Medicare beneficiaries
CONCLUSIONS: The Medicare bonus payment policy led to a small increase in beneficiaries' flu vaccination rates, suggesting that expanding the star measure set could be an effective way to increase uptake for other recommended adult vaccines.PMID:35738223 | DOI:10.37765/ajmc.2022.89154

Variation in influenza vaccine assessment, receipt, and refusal by the concentration of Medicare Advantage enrollees in U.S. nursing homes
CONCLUSION: A higher concentration of long-stay NH residents enrolled in MA was associated with greater influenza vaccine receipt and lower vaccine refusal. As MA becomes a larger share of the Medicare program, and more MA beneficiaries enter NHs, decisionmakers need to consider how managed care can be leveraged to improve the delivery of preventive services like influenza vaccinations in NH settings.PMID:35033387 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.12.069

Seasonal influenza vaccination is associated with reduced risk of death among Medicare beneficiaries < sup > ☆ < /sup >
Vaccine. 2021 Nov 23:S0264-410X(21)01461-4. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.11.016. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Influenza causes substantial mortality, especially among older persons. Influenza vaccines are rarely more than 50% effective and rarely reach more than half of the US Medicare population, which is primarily an aged population. We wished to estimate the association between vaccination and mortality reduction.METHOD: We used the US Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) DataLink Project to determine vaccination status and timing during the 2017-2018 influenza season for more than 26 million Medi...
