Effectiveness of inactivated influenza vaccine against laboratory-confirmed influenza in elderly Chinese patients with diabetes: A test-negative design case-control study by Zhengyan Chen, Tianchi Yang

“…Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was estimated using an unconditional multiple logistic regression model, adjusted for age, gender, household registration and underlying health status. VE was calculated as (1-odds ratio(OR)) × 100%. Overall, the adjusted VE against laboratory-confirmed influenza from inactivated influenza vaccines over the study period was 59.4% (95%CI, 36.3% to 74.4%). …”
