Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Proportion of fully vaccinated patients in relation to each individual standard and indication vaccination and in relation to a complete vaccination status for all indicated standard and indication vaccinations in liver transplant patients at baseline ((15.12.2016) and follow-up (31.12.2018). Using the patients' vaccination records, the prevalence rates for each vaccination are quantified for 2016 (cut-off date up to December 31, 2016) and 2018 (cut-off date up to December 31, 2018). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Proportion of fully vaccinated patients in relation to each individual standard and indication vaccination and in relation to a complete vaccination status for all indicated standard and indication vaccinations in liver transplant patients depending on the intervention group at the baseline and follow-up time points. Using the patients' vaccination records, the prevalence rates for each vaccination are quantified for all three groups for 2016 (cut-off date up to December 31, 2016) and 2018 (cut-off date up to December 31, 2018). | — |
