Immune response to influenza vaccination in community-dwelling Chinese elderly persons.
Vaccine. 2006 Jun 19; 24(25):5371-80.V

Abstract

We investigated the immune antibody response to influenza vaccine in community-dwelling Chinese elderly persons in Hong Kong. One hundred and twenty-eight subjects were recruited in a single-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled trial. There was no significant baseline difference between the vaccine and placebo groups regarding the seroprotection rates (PR) (haemagglutination inhibition [HI] titre>or=1:40) and geometric mean titres (GMT) of the HI antibody titers. The PR, GMTs and serological response rates increased significantly in the vaccinated versus placebo groups in A-H1N1 at both weeks 4 and month 6. The GMTs and serological response rates but not the PR for A-H3N2 and influenza B increased significantly in vaccinated versus placebo group at week 4 and month 6 post-vaccination. Multivariate logistic regression analyses of the seroconversion rate for A-H3N2 within the vaccinated group showed that gender, coronary heart disease and the serum albumin level were significant predictors (p=0.018, 0.009 and 0.025, respectively). Influenza vaccination provoked a protective HI antibody response in community-living Chinese elderly persons. The mean number of unplanned hospital admissions per subject over 6 months was significantly lower in the vaccinated than in the placebo groups. Hospitalized elderly persons had poorer nutrition, 4-week post-immunization HI antibody titres and lower mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score than non-hospitalized elderly persons. Logistic regression analyses showed that chronic obstructive airway disease significantly increased the risk of hospitalization while the serum albumin level and 4-week A-H3N2 PR (HI>or=40) were independent predictors of a decreased risk of hospitalizations.
