Lack of Association of Kawasaki Disease After Immunization in a Cohort of Infants Followed for Multiple Autoimmune Diagnoses in a Large, Phase-4 Observational Database Safety Study of 7-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine

Abstract: A large-scale, postmarketing observational database safety study was conducted following 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) licensure. A secondary outcome was the occurrence of predefined diagnoses among PCV7 vaccinees versus historic controls. Forty-two PCV7 recipients and 17 controls were hospitalized for Kawasaki disease (P = 0.012). After adjusting for potential confounding variables, this difference was not significant (P = 0.083). No association between Kawasaki disease and PCV7 was found.

“…For other PCVs, a largescale post-marketing study found that 42 7vCRM recipients and 17 children who received control vaccination were hospitalized for Kawasaki disease, but the difference between groups was not significant after adjusting for potential confounding variables [29]. Post-licensure surveillance following vaccination with the 13-valent CRM-conjugate vaccine (PCV13; Prevenar13/Prevnar13™, Pfizer Inc.) compared to 7vCRM found the relative risk for Kawasaki disease in the period up to 28 days after vaccination was 1.94 (95% CI: 0.79-4.86) [30].…”

“…Earlier studies such as the study by Center et al . did not specify the criteria used to define KD except that it was ‘pre-specified’ in collaboration with the FDA 6 . However, mean duration of fever was reported to be six days which may suggest that Incomplete KD cases were included.…”

“…A phase IV database analysis by Center et al . reported an increased risk of KD hospitalizations amongst recipients of PCV7 compared to historical controls (unadjusted RR 2.02 (95% CI, 1.16 to 3.63) 6 . However, after controlling for possible confounders including sex, race, age at first dose, etc., the RR of KD hospitalization was no longer statistically significantly (RR 1.67; 95% CI, 0.93 to 3.00) 6 .…”
