Factors associated with pneumococcal and influenza vaccination in hospitalized people aged ⩾65 years

Abstract: Socioeconomic factors and the patterns of use of health services associated with influenza and pneumococcal vaccination were studied in people aged ⩾65 years admitted to three general hospitals in Spain between 2005 and 2007. The following data were collected: age, sex, risk of pneumonia, educational level, social class, type of household, physician visits, length of time with the same general practitioner, and influenza and pneumococcal vaccination (23vPPV). Associations between variables were assessed using … Show more

“…Consistent with previous findings from the United States [14], Spain [24] and Sweden [25], individuals 70 years of age or older had a significantly higher probability of having been vaccinated relative to participants less than 70 years of age. Also consistent with previous findings, participants who were “well, with treated co-morbidities” had a higher probability of vaccine receipt relative to those who were deemed “very fit” on the frailty scale [25,26].…”

Wertet man die Häufigkeit von Arztbesuchen als Hinweis auf Multimorbidität, könnte dies als Bestätigung der eigenen Auswertungen aufgefasst werden.…”

“…In Bayern nimmt die Nutzung für beide Geschlechter mit steigendem Alter zu; in Thüringen liegt die Hauptnutzung für beide Geschlechter in der mittleren Altersgruppe. Die spanische Arbeit zeigt ebenfalls eine höhere Durchimpfung im höheren Alter [17]. Auch dieser Zusammenhang könnte über eine höhe-re Nutzung der Impfung für die eher als gebrechlicher eingestuften Älteren sprechen.…”
