Risk assessment
Primary scope : Risk assessment
12. Main objective(s)
What is the main objective of the study?
8.1. Primary objectives
To determine whether exposure to the Spikevax during pregnancy is associated with an
increased risk of:
a. Pregnancy complications
b. Adverse pregnancy outcomes
c. Major congenital malformations in the offspring (overall and organ-specific if
feasible)
d. Adverse neonatal outcomes
Are there primary outcomes?Yes
a. Pregnancy complications
b. Adverse pregnancy outcomes
c. Major congenital malformations in the offspring (overall and organ-specific if
feasible)
d. Adverse neonatal outcomes
Are there secondary outcomes?Yes
Utilization of Spikevax in pregnancy
13. Study design
What is the design of the study?
Cross-sectional study
Cohort study
Drug utilisation study
14. Follow-up of patients
Will patients be followed up?Yes
Please describe duration of follow up
Post-delivery follow-up up to 1 year
15. Data analysis plan
Please provide a brief summary of the analysis method
Counts and percentages will be presented for categorical variables (age at conception in
categories, sex). Means, standard errors, medians and ranges will be presented for continuous
variables (age at conception). The proportion of missing data will be described when
appropriate. For maternal outcomes, pregnancy will be the unit of observation; for neonatal
outcomes, a newborn will be the unit of observation. For the outcomes of congenital
malformations and stillbirth the number at risk will be the total number of live or stillborn
children.
Prevalence of each outcome will be computed as number of observations with a given outcome
divided by the total number of study population members.
For neonatal death, a 28-day
mortality risk will be the measure of occurrence among live-born infants. Prevalence/risks will
be compared according to predefined exposure categories and using, whenever necessary, plausible exposure risk windows.
