Analysis of the impact of vaccination of pneumococcal infection in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in combination with diabetes

Abstract

Aim. The article presents data on the evaluation of the clinical efficacy of using a conjugated pneumococcal vaccine in patients with COPD in combination with 2-type diabetes during a 3-year follow - up period. Materials and methods. The study included 309 patients with an isolated course of COPD and in combination with diabetes. The main parameters for evaluating the effectiveness were: the dynamics of clinical symptoms - shortness of breath on the mMRC scale, CAT test, FEV1, the number of exacerbations, hospitalizations, the number of pneumonia, the state of carbohydrate metabolism (HbA1c) and the lipid profile. For vaccine prevention 13-valent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine Prevenar-13 was used. Results and conclusions. The use of PСV13 helps to reduce the severity of respiratory symptoms, reduce the number and duration of exacerbations of COPD, reduce the number of pneumonia. Both in isolated course of COPD and in combination with diabetes. Vaccination PCV13 in patients with comorbid course contributes to the compensation of carbohydrate metabolism and improve the lipid profile.
