Description

This project was a one-time assessment of the association between influenza vaccination and birth outcomes (cleft lip without cleft palate, cleft palate without cleft lip, or cleft lip with cleft palate).

Medical record review was conducted to confirm case status, confounders, and gestational age at delivery to better understand the strengths and limitations of using electronic data for surveillance. Protocol-based assessments use study designs and analysis plans customized for the product-outcome pairs being assessed.

The Mini-Sentinel Operations Center posted this protocol for public comment from February 25, 2013, through March 11, 2013. The public comment period is now closed.  A revised version was approved for implementation by FDA on December 5, 2014 and a second revised version was approved for implementation by FDA on January 3, 2017. A log of changes is included in the revised protocol (v3).
