ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryTime to Occurrence of Any Acute Otitis Media (AOM) Diagnosed and Verified Against American Academic of Pediatrics (AAP) CriteriaAny time from 2 weeks after the administration of dose 3 up to Month 22
Time to occurrence of any episode of AOM is expressed in terms of rate: Person-year rate = number of episodes (n)/sum of follow-up expressed in years (T\[year)\]). Definition of clinical AOM diagnosed and verified against AAP criteria required meeting three criteria based on the guidelines from the AAP \[AAP, 2004\], as per the judgment of a treating physician or equivalent licensed medical professional: A history of acute (recent, usually abrupt) onset of signs and symptoms of middle-ear inflammation and middle-ear effusion (MEE).AND The presence of MEE indicated by any of the following: a) Bulging of tympanic membrane; b) Limited or absent mobility of tympanic membrane; c) Air-fluid level behind tympanic membrane; d) Otorrhea AND Signs or symptoms of middle-ear inflammation as indicated by either: a) Distinct erythema of tympanic membrane or b) Distinct otalgia (discomfort clearly referable to the ear\[s\] that resulted in interference with or precluded normal activity or sleep).
SecondaryTime to Occurrence of Any Episodes of AOM Diagnosed by Healthcare-providerAny time from 2 weeks after the administration of dose 3 up to Month 22
Time to occurrence of any episode of AOM is expressed in terms of rate: Person-year rate = number of episodes (n)/sum of follow-up expressed in years (T\[year)\]). A healthcare-provider-diagnosed clinical AOM case was defined as an AOM event diagnosed by a treating physician or equivalent licensed medical professional with or without clinical symptoms documented in the routine medical record.
SecondaryTime to Occurrence of Any Clinical Acute Otitis Media (AOM) Diagnosed and Verified Against Modified American Academic of Pediatrics (AAP) CriteriaAny time from 2 weeks after the administration of dose 3 up to Month 22
Time to occurrence of any episode of AOM is expressed in terms of rate: Person-year rate = number of episodes (n)/sum of follow-up expressed in years (T\[year)\]). Definition of clinical AOM diagnosed and verified against modified AAP criteria required a history of acute disease (i.e. AAP criterion 1) together with abnormal tympanic membrane (i.e. one of the AAP criteria 2 or 3a), as per the judgment of a treating physician or equivalent licensed medical professional: 1. A history of acute (recent, usually abrupt) onset of signs and symptoms of middle-ear inflammation and middle-ear effusion (MEE).AND 2. The presence of MEE that is indicated by any of the following: a) Bulging of tympanic membrane, b) Limited or absent mobility of tympanic membrane, c) Air-fluid level behind tympanic membrane, d) Otorrhea OR 3. Signs or symptoms of middle-ear inflammation as indicated by: a) Distinct erythema of tympanic membrane.
SecondaryNumber of Subjects With Any Recurrent Healthcare Provider Diagnosed Acute Otitis Media (AOM)From the administration of dose 1 up to Month 22
Recurrent AOM was defined as at least 3 AOM episodes diagnosed by a physician or equivalent licensed medical professional and occurring within 6 months or at least 4 episodes within one year, regardless of the etiology.
SecondaryTime to Occurrence of Any Draining Acute Otitis Media (AOM)Any time from 2 weeks after the administration of dose 3 up to Month 22
Time to occurrence of any episode of AOM is expressed in terms of rate: Person-year rate = number of episodes (n)/sum of follow-up expressed in years (T\[year)\]). Draining AOM was defined as AOM with otorrhea or with spontaneously perforated tympanic membrane. In this case, middle ear fluid (MEF) was to be swabbed with no tympanocentesis needed and tested for the presence of S. pneumoniae and other pathogens as part of the routine clinical practice. Draining pneumococcal AOM were defined as draining AOM cases with S. pneumoniae identified in MEF.
SecondaryTime to Occurrence of Any Draining Pneumococcal Acute Otitis Media (AOM)Any time from 2 weeks after the administration of dose 3 up to Month 22
Time to occurrence of any episode of AOM is expressed in terms of rate: Person-year rate = number of episodes (n)/sum of follow-up expressed in years (T\[year)\]). Draining AOM was defined as AOM with otorrhea or with spontaneously perforated tympanic membrane. In this case, middle ear fluid (MEF) was to be swabbed with no tympanocentesis needed and tested for the presence of S. pneumoniae and other pathogens as part of the routine clinical practice. Draining pneumococcal AOM were defined as draining AOM cases with S. pneumoniae identified in MEF.
SecondaryNumber of Subjects With Any Acute Otitis Media (AOM) With Temporally Related CarriageFrom the administration of dose 1 up to Month 22AOM with temporally related carriage was defined as AOM with nasopharyngeal swab taken within 3 days before or after an AOM episode.
SecondaryTime to Occurrence of Medically Attended Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (ALRI)Any time from 2 weeks after the administration of dose 3 up to Month 22
Time to occurrence of any episode of AOM is expressed in terms of rate: Person-year rate = number of episodes (n)/ sum of follow-up expressed in years (T\[year)\]). ALRI was defined by the presence of tachypnea (respiratory rate \>50 amongst children 2 to 12 months of age, and respiratory rate \>40 in children over 1 year of age) and at least two of the following signs and symptoms: cough; fever documented at visit or reported within preceding 3 days (Fever was defined as temperature ≥100.4°F (38.0°C) regardless of the route of measurement); increased work of breathing: grunting, nasal flaring, and intercostal and/or subcostal retractions; auscultatory abnormalities: wheezing, crackles, rhonchi, decreased breath sounds.
SecondaryTime to Occurrence of Medically Attended ALRI With Fever Documented at the Visit or History of Fever Within 3 Days Preceding a Given EpisodeAny time from 2 weeks after the administration of dose 3 up to Month 22
Time to occurrence of any episode of AOM is expressed in terms of rate: Person-year rate = number of episodes (n)/ sum of follow-up expressed in years (T\[year)\]). ALRI was defined by the presence of tachypnea (respiratory rate \>50 amongst children 2 to 12 months of age, and respiratory rate \>40 in children over 1 year of age) and at least two of the following signs and symptoms: cough; fever documented at visit or reported within preceding 3 days (Fever is defined as temperature ≥100.4°F (38.0°C) regardless of the route of measurement); increased work of breathing: grunting, nasal flaring, and intercostal and/or subcostal retractions; auscultatory abnormalities: wheezing, crackles, rhonchi, decreased breath sounds.
SecondaryTime to Occurrence of Any Medically Attended Healthcare-provider-diagnosed ALRI With Fever Documented at the Visit or History of Fever Within 3 Days Preceding a Given Episode.Any time from 2 weeks after the administration of dose 3 up to Month 22
Time to occurrence of any episode of AOM is expressed in terms of rate: Person-year rate = number of episodes (n)/ sum of follow-up expressed in years (T\[year)\]). A healthcare-provider-diagnosed ALRI with fever case was defined as, but not limited to, chest infection, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, pleural effusion or empyema diagnosed by a treating physician or equivalent licensed medical professional with fever documented at the time of visit or history of fever within 3 days preceding a given episode and with or without other clinical symptoms documented in the routine medical record.
