Influenza Prevention in Older Adults
Clinical research at Complexo Hospitalario Universitario De Santiago includes work on preventing influenza infection in adults aged 65 to 79 years, with attention to protection against respiratory illness in an older population.
- Influenza vaccination
- Older adult health
- Respiratory infection prevention
The sponsor’s activity is centered on evaluating approaches relevant to seasonal influenza protection in the context of hospitalization for influenza or pneumonia.
Pneumonia and Respiratory Hospitalization
The research portfolio also addresses pneumonia as part of a composite respiratory outcome, reflecting interest in reducing severe lower respiratory tract complications among older adults.
- Hospitalization prevention
- Lower respiratory tract disease
- Acute respiratory outcomes
This area links preventive care with clinically significant respiratory events that affect older patients in routine health care settings.
Vaccination Strategies in Geriatric Care
Research activity includes assessment of quadrivalent influenza vaccine use in a geriatric population, with interest in vaccine-based prevention tailored to age-related vulnerability.
- Seasonal influenza immunisation
- Geriatric preventive medicine
- Community-based vaccination
The sponsor’s clinical focus is aligned with real-world vaccination in adults receiving care in Spain, particularly in Galicia.
Comparative Vaccine Effectiveness
The trial portfolio includes comparative evaluation of high-dose and standard-dose influenza vaccines, reflecting interest in differences in protection against infection-related outcomes in older adults.
- Vaccine effectiveness
- Preventive immunology
- Age-related immune protection
This work contributes to clinical decision-making in influenza prevention for patients aged 65 to 79 years.
