Human papillomavirus vaccine uptake among individuals with systemic inflammatory diseases.


ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is safe and efficacious in patients with systemic inflammatory diseases (SID) who have higher rates of persistent HPV infection. We compared HPV vaccine uptake among SID and non-SID patients.

Methods

Using a U.S. insurance claims database (2006-2012), we identified individuals 9-26 years with ?2 SID diagnosis codes ?7 days apart with ?12 months of continuous enrollment prior to the second code (index date). We matched SID patients by age, sex and index date to randomly selected non-SID subjects and selected those with ?24 months of post-index date continuous follow-up. We also identified a non-SID subcohort with ?1 diagnosis code for asthma. We defined initiation as ?1 HPV vaccination claim after 2007, and completion as 3 claims. We used multivariable logistic regression to assess uptake in females 11-26 years comparing SID, non-SID and asthma cohorts, adjusting for demographics, region, comorbidities, and healthcare utilization.

Results

We identified 5,642 patients 9-26 years with SID and 20,643 without. The mean age was 18.1 years (SD 4.9). We identified 1,083 patients with asthma; the mean age was 17.2 (SD 5.1). Among females, 20.6% with SID, 23.1% without SID and 22.9% with asthma, received ?1 HPV vaccine. In our adjusted models, the odds of receipt of ?1 vaccine was 0.87 times lower in SID (95% CI 0.77-0.98) compared to non-SID and did not differ for 3 vaccines (OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.83-1.26). The odds of initiation and completion were not statistically different between SID and non-SID asthma cohorts.

Conclusions

In this nationwide cohort, HPV vaccine uptake was extremely low. Despite the heightened risk of persistent HPV infection among those with SID, no increase in HPV vaccine uptake was observed. Public health efforts to promote HPV vaccination overall are needed, and may be particularly beneficial for those at higher risk.
