摘要

预防流感感染和并发症的最有效方法是接种疫苗。然而，每年的疫苗接种率仍然很低。本研究探讨了流感疫苗接种对西班牙加泰罗尼亚地区老年人口医疗保健使用率的影响。事实上，我们研究了接种疫苗对与直接和间接医疗成本相关的各种结果的影响。利用加泰罗尼亚地区 1965 年前出生的人的医疗资源利用纵向数据，我们使用了基于以前流感运动个别发病率和居住地区疫情的疫苗接种工具变量。结果显示，接种疫苗对使用与流感相关的医疗服务（就诊次数和直接医疗成本）和病假时间有明显（有利）影响。然而，在与流感相关的死亡率方面没有观察到任何影响。

The influenza vaccination's impact elderly's health outcomes in Catalonia (Spain)

The most effective method of preventing influenza infection and complications is through vaccination. However, annual vaccination rates remain low. This study examines the impact of influenza vaccination on healthcare utilisation among the elderly population in Catalonia, Spain. Indeed, we examine the impact of vaccination on various outcomes related to direct and indirect health costs. Utilising longitudinal data on healthcare resource utilisation for individuals born before 1965 in Catalonia, we used instrumental variables for vaccination shots based on previous flu campaign incidence individually and outbreaks in the area of residence. The results showed a significant (beneficial) impact of vaccination on using influenza-related healthcare (count of visits and health direct costs) and sick leave duration. However, no effects were observed on influenza-related mortality.
