Purpose
Subsets of children are targeted for influenza vaccination due to known conditions that increase the risk of influenza complications. The purpose of this study was to determine if severe obesity in children suggests targeted vaccination. Design and methods A retrospective chart review of a large Midwestern pediatric hospital identified 188 cases of influenza complications (defined as requiring hospitalization or death) aged 2 to Results Of 188 cases, 174 (93%) had a high-risk condition, while only 14 (7%) had no known condition. All 14 (100%) with no known high-risk condition had a BMI Conclusions This suggests that severe obesity in children is not an independent high-risk condition for influenza complications defined as requiring hospitalization or resulting in death, once other known influenza risk factors are considered. Implications Based on this data, clinicians should not target children for influenza vaccination based on weight status. We cannot comment about whether severe obesity represents increased risk for less severe cases of influenza. |
