Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to learn how well PCV20 stops adults from getting community-acquired pneumonia. Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can be caused by germs like bacteria, virus, or fungi. This study uses existing healthcare information. No participants will be actively enrolled. The information of participants will be taken from Kaiser Permanente Southern California's (KPSC) electronic health records (EHR). We will look at the EHR information for adults who meet the following points: * 19 years of age or older and a KPSC member between 01 July 2022 and 31 May 2025. * have higher risk of pneumococcal disease due to older age or a chronic medical condition * have been a KPSC member for the year before joining the study and for at least one year before 01 July 2022. * have not received PCV15, PCV21, PPSV23 (2 years before), or PCV13 (5 years before) joining the study. * have not received PCV20 before 01 June 2022. * have not received PCV20 before turning 65 or before having a chronic medical condition which has higher risk of pneumococcal disease. * have had at least one outpatient visit. * have not had pneumonia or lower respiratory tract infection within 30 days of joining the study. The study will begin on 01 July 2022 and end on 30 June 2025. At the end of the follow-up period, the study will compare the number of community-acquired pneumonia cases among people who did and did not receive PCV20.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
PCV20 vaccine effectiveness (VE) against all-cause pneumonia (ACP) separately among both adults 19-64 years of age with medical conditions and behavioral risk factors and among adults ≥65 years of age3 yearsPCV20 VE against ACP calculated as (1-aHR) × 100% separately among adults aged 19-64 years with medical conditions or behavioral risk factors and among adults ≥65 years of age

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence rates calculated separately among adults 19-64 years of age with medical conditions or behavioral risk factors and among adults ≥65 years of age3 yearsUnweighted and unadjusted incidence rates will be calculated as the number of ACP episodes per 100,000 person-years overall and separately for PCV20-vaccinated and unvaccinated time-segments. Incidence rates will be calculated separately among adults 19-64 years of age with medical conditions or behavioral risk factors and among adults ≥65 years of age
Absolute rate reduction of ACP associated with PCV20 vaccination calculated separately among adults 19-64 years of age with medical conditions or behavioral risk factors and among adults ≥65 years of age3 yearsAbsolute rate reduction of ACP associated with PCV20 vaccination will be calculated using the weighted VE estimate from the Cox proportional hazards model along with the non-model based unadjusted incidence rate (IR) during PCV20-vaccinated follow-up time. Absolute rate reduction will be calculated separately among adults 19-64 years of age with medical conditions or behavioral risk factors and among adults ≥65 years of age.
