Table 3. Percentage of subjects with significant differences in incidence of unsolicited AEs within the 31-d (days 0–30) post-vaccination period (total vaccinated cohort).

  Human RV vaccine
n = 11856
Placebo
n = 4778
Relative risk
(vaccine over placebo)
Symptom n % [95% CI] n % [95% CI] RR [95% CI] P value§
At least 1 symptom 5662 47.76 [46.85–48.66] 2362 49.43 [48.01–50.86] 0.99 [0.94–1.04] 0.72

*Significantly higher incidence in vaccine group. Significantly higher incidence in placebo group. RR calculations were performed based on the Poisson method on stratified studies (incidence rate was not directly dependent on the RR value generated). §P value: 2-sided Exact Stratified Test conditional to number of cases. AEs listed by decreasing order of frequency in the vaccine group. Note: studies 023, 024, 028, 029, 030, and 037 are not included in this part of the analysis since collection of unsolicited AEs in these studies was different from the others.
