Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this database study is to assess if Arepanrix™ vaccination during the 2009 pandemic was associated with an increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Manitoba, Canada.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This observational, retrospective, propensity-score matched cohort study using the Manitoba Immunization Monitoring System (MIMS) and the hospital, physician, and prescription claims databases of the Manitoba Health (MH) Database System will assess if Arepanrix™ vaccination during the 2009 pandemic was associated with an increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other demyelinating conditions not ultimately leading to a multiple sclerosis diagnosis in Manitoba, Canada.

The data will be collected form the following linked databases:

* Manitoba Health (MH) administrative databases
* Manitoba Immunization Monitoring System (MIMS)
* Manitoba Health Population Registry (MHPR)
* Drug Program Information Network (DPIN)
* Hospital Abstract Database
* The Medical Services database

Exposed to Arepanrix™ Cohort

All individuals with Manitoba Immunization Monitoring System (MIMS) record of H1N1 (Arepanrix™) and/or seasonal influenza vaccination during the influenza season 2009/2010 (15 September 2009 to 15 March 2010).

Exposed to Arepanrix™ Cohort

Intervention Type OTHER

Demographic characteristics such as age, sex, area of residence, socio-economic status; medical history such as comorbidities, immune status, vaccine indication, receipt of other vaccines or medications and frequency of healthcare contacts, as well as information on pregnancy status and pre-existing conditions will be collected..

Unexposed to Arepanrix™ Cohort

All individuals registered with Manitoba Health (MH) during the study period but with no MIMS record for H1N1 (Arepanrix™) and seasonal influenza vaccination during the influenza season 2009/2010 (15 September 2009 to 15 March 2010).

Unexposed to Arepanrix™ Cohort

Intervention Type OTHER
