Efficiency of vaccine prophylaxis concentrated pneumococcal vaccine in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease and chronic heart failure

Abstract

The article uses the analysis of clinical and pharmacoeconomic effectiveness of 13-valent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine in patients with combined course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ischemic heart disease (IHD) and chronic heart failure (CHF). Materials and methods. 429 male patients with diagnoses of COPD, IHD, CHF were included in the study. The main endpoints of observation, for 5 years, for evaluation of effectiveness were dynamic assessment for class CHF, the number of exacerbations, hospitalizations, the number of pneumonias. The 13-valent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (PCV13) Prevenar-13 was used for vaccine prophylaxis. Results and discussion. The increase in age with the combined course of COPD and cardiovascular pathology leads to a deterioration in the basic clinical and functional indicators. With the increase in the clinical symptoms of the defeat of the respiratory system. There is an increase in the functional class of heart failure. Inclusion of vaccine prophylaxis PCV13 in the management plan of patients with combined pathology. Reduce the degree of dyspnea and stabilize the main functional indicators. Conclusions. Vaccination of patients with COPD using PCV13 combined with CHF and IHD made it possible to manage the health system expenses by 74-84%.
