  1. Comparability of Vaccine Safety Data Dr. med. Jan Bonhoeffer Coordinator, The Brighton Collaboration University Children’s Hospital Basel

  2. 2 Challenges To Comparability • Safety assessed indirectly • No standardization: of Case definitions of Guidelines

  3. Lack of Standardized Case Definitions • WHO and CIOMS definitions -Not exaustive -Not widely used • Literature search -Large diversity of safety methods

  4. Temperature Cut-offsStudy protocols and surveillance systems Number of Studies (N=120)* 37.5 38.0 38.3/ 38.5 39.0 39.5 40.0 40.5 “Fever” 37.8 Temperature (>=) °C *Some studies with >1 cut off

  5. Cut-offs for Erythema & Swelling & IndurationStudies and Surveillance Systems Number of studies* (N=102) Cut off points in mm *Some studies with >1 cut off

  6. The Brighton Collaboration Enables Comparability • Develops case definitions for AEFI • Promotes global implementation of case definitions

  7. 4 Step Process To Develop Case Definitions • Search for existing case definitions • Develop draft definitions • Review and evaluate draft definitions 4) Finalize and disseminate definitions

  8. First Six AEFI Definitions • Fever • Local Reactions • Intussusception • Persistent Crying • Generalized Convulsive Seizure • Hypotonic- Hyporesponsive Episode

  9. Brighton Collaboration Case Definition Format Level 1 of diagnostic certainty Level 2 of diagnostic certainty Level 3 of diagnostic certainty

  10. Intussusception • Level 1 • Surgical criteria AND/OR • Radiological criteria AND/OR • Autopsy criteria • Level 2 • Clinical criteria • 2 major OR 1 major & 3 minor criteria • Level 3 • Clinical criteria • > 4 minor criteria

  11. Fever Level 1 Endogenous elevation of at least one measured body temperature of >38° C Level 2Not applicable Level 3Not applicable

  12. 4 Step Process To Develop Guidelines • Create draft definitions • Apply to real cases • Test for comparability • Formulate needed guidelines

  13. Guidelines for Investigators • Data collection e.g. vaccine, other medication, outcome • Data Analysis e.g. 5 categories, predefined increments • Data Presentation e.g. numerator and denominator, distribution of data

  14. Five Categories for Data Analysis Case definition Level 1 of diagnostic certainty Level 2 of diagnostic certainty Level 3 of diagnostic certainty Additional categories for data analysis • Reported [AEFI] with insufficient evidence • to meet the case definition • No, it is not a case of [AEFI]

  15. AEFI Definition Document Format • Preamble • Definition • Guidelines

  16. Structure of Brighton Collaboration • Steering committee • Working groups: Case definition • Working group: Methods • Reference group

  17. Board Elisabeth Loupi Bob Chen Phillippe Duclos Ulrich Heininger Harald Heijbel Tom Jefferson Secretariat Katrin Kohl Jan Bonhoeffer Bakary Drammeh Steering Committee

  18. Allergic Reaction SIDS ITP Myalgia CFS Paresthesia Smallpox AEFI Next Steps • Build reference group • Build next 7 working groups • Dissemination and Implementation

  19. Country Distribution of Participants Date: October 2002 322 Participants 42 Countries

  20. Join the Collaboration ! • Use definitions, guidelines • Be part of reference group • Be part of working groups We need aWorking Group Coordinator NOW!!

  30. Swelling at injection site Level 2* Reported visible enlargement of injection site/limb without objective measurement or specified anatomical description.
