TRANSCRIPT
To describe the burden of influenza • doctors visits, • hospitalizations, • sick leaves, • drug consumption
among children in France. To compare it to non influenza acute respiratory infections.
Prospective study. Follow-up of a pediatric cohort called EFG Junior, including 469 children 0-14 years old, recruited during 2009 pandemic wave, from 2nd of December 2009 to 2nd of April 2010, by 93 sentinel practitioners belonging to GROG Network (Réseau des Groupes Régionaux d’Observation de la Grippe), a sentinel influenza network active in France since 1984. Maximum inclusion rate: 9 per practitioner.
Inclusion criteriaacute respiratory infection (ARI) among children (< 15 years old) consulting a GROG practitioner who collected a nasopharyngeal swab tested by the French National Reference Center for Influenzae virusesParental signed consent. Virological methods Medium transport: Virocult®. cell culture, PCR, enzyme ImmunoAssay, hemagglutinin inhibition. Questionnaires filled by GROG sentinel doctor at D0 (swabbing day) and D14-D21 (follow-up visit). Monitoring and data managementCentralised monitoring and data management were assumed by Open Rome through a specific IT platform.
DefinitionsInfluenza positive patient: child whose specimen is positive for flu viruses. Influenza negative patient: child whose specimen is negative for flu viruses.
Severity indexlow severity: only one medical consult without home visit, neither parental work absenteeism nor school (or nursery) absenteeism ; high severity: home visit or school (nursery) absenteeism or parental work absenteeism ; with complications: 2 or more medical consults (ambulatory or at hospital).
EFG junior cohort: parts of an economical analysis of the burden of A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza among children
