Cross-sectional investigation of pneumococcal vaccination patterns in HIV patients at a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Background
People living with HIV (PLWH) are recognized as a high-risk population for opportunistic infections, including community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Therefore, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US-CDC) and Saudi Ministry of health (MOH) advocate for pneumococcal vaccination among all PLWH as a crucial preventive measure against pneumococcal infections. Hence, this study aims to investigate the prescribing patterns of pneumococcal vaccines for PLWH at a tertiary care hospital. As PCV15 and PCV20 were not available until 2022, this study focuses on the prescribing patterns of PCV13 and PPSV23.
Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the prescribing patterns of pneumococcal vaccines among PLWH attending the HIV clinic at a tertiary hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Utilizing medical records from PLWH who visited the HIV clinic between January 1987 and December 2022, demographic data, clinical characteristics, antiretroviral therapy details, and pneumococcal vaccination records were collected. Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 (SPSS Inc., Armonk, New York, USA).
Results
Of the 346 identified patients, the majority (81 %) were male, with a median age of 45 years. A significant proportion had not received any pneumococcal vaccinations (98.6 %), while only 2 patients (0.56 %) completed the full series of pneumococcal vaccines (PCV13-PPSV23), and 3 patients (0.84 %) received a single dose of PCV13. Nearly all patients (99 %) reported regular attendance at the HIV clinic, with the vast majority (98.3 %) receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Conclusion
This study revealed a notable deficiency in pneumococcal vaccine coverage among PLWH. Therefore, additional measures are imperative to improve pneumococcal vaccine uptake and reduce the risk of invasive pneumococcal diseases within this vulnerable population.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
