Source of Information: NIS • HCUP: Nationwide Inpatient Sample • Sponsored by AHRQ • Largest inpatient database publicly available • ~20% of US hospital discharges • Discharge level information • De-identified data, diagnoses, procedures, no lab, no chest x-rays • Complex sampling design
Methods • Monthly hospitalization rates (annualized): • All-cause pneumonia • Pneumococcal pneumonia • Dehydration (control condition) • Segmented regression analysis: ITS • Log-transformed rates as outcomes • Quantified vaccine effect by end of 2004 Grijalva CG, et al. Lancet. 2007;369:1179–1186

Conclusions • Major declines in all-cause and pneumococcal pneumonia after PCV7 program introduction • Sustained declines consistently observed in different studies/settings • Large national database (HCUP NIS) allowed detection and monitoring of direct and indirect effects
