目的:通过疫苗接种预防慢性丙型肝炎(CHC)患者的甲型肝炎病毒(HAV)和乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染已得到所有主要专业协会的认可。本研究的目的是确定最近采用的HAV和HBV疫苗接种医师绩效指标的依从性。方法:回顾性研究。分析了2000年至2007年间可检测到丙型肝炎病毒(HCV) RNA的CHC患者的甲型和乙型肝炎血清学数据和免疫记录。结果:共纳入2968例CHC患者。其中,2143名患者(72%)接受了甲肝易感性检测,其中53%具有免疫力。在未免疫的患者中,746人(74%)接种了疫苗,另外218人没有事先检测。对于HBV, 2303例(78%)患者接受了免疫检测,782例(34%)患者免疫。在易感患者中,1086例(71%)接种了疫苗,另外197例患者没有事先进行检测。总体疫苗接种绩效测量依从率为甲型肝炎71%,乙型肝炎70%,甲型肝炎和乙型肝炎均62%。对176张图表的随机审查发现,不遵守的主要原因是错失机会(41%),卫生保健系统的变化(31%),以及在我们的卫生保健系统之外记录的疫苗接种(22%)。结论:我们的研究发现患者对建议的依从性较高且有所改善,但错过机会仍然是不遵守建议的主要原因。本研究也支持在退伍军人人群中选择性接种疫苗的策略。
OBJECTIVES: Prevention of hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) through vaccination is endorsed by all major professional societies. This study was conducted to determine adherence to the recently adopted physician performance measure on HAV and HBV vaccination.METHODS: This was a retrospective study. Hepatitis A and B serology data and immunization records between 2000 and 2007 from CHC patients with detectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA were analyzed.RESULTS: A total of 2,968 CHC patients were included in the study. Of these, 2,143 patients (72%) were tested for susceptibility to HAV, of which 53% had immunity. Of the non-immune patients, 746 (74%) were vaccinated as well as an additional 218 without prior testing. For HBV, 2,303 patients (78%) were tested for immunity and 782 (34%) were immune. Of the susceptible patients, 1,086 (71%) were vaccinated as well as an additional 197 patients without prior testing. The overall vaccination performance measure adherence rate was 71% for HAV, 70% for HBV, and 62% for both HAV and HBV. Random review of 176 charts found the major reasons for non-adherence were missed opportunity (41%), change of health care system (31%), and documented vaccination outside our health care system (22%).CONCLUSIONS: Our study found a high and improved adherence to the recommendations, but missed opportunity was still the main reason of non-adherence. This study also supported the strategy of selective vaccination in the veteran population.
