Table 4. Association of 2011–2012 influenza vaccine A strain seroprotection (HI titer ≥ 1:40) and seroconversion with count* of historical strains that have seroprotective titers (HI titer ≥ 1:40) at Day 0 from logistic regression: adjusted results.

Row Variable 2011–2012 Influenza A Vaccine Strains
A(H1N1)
Odds Ratio (95% CI)
A(H3N2)
Odds Ratio (95% CI)
  Outcome: Pre-vaccination Day 0 Titers ≥ 1:40 vs. < 1:40
1 Count of seroprotective responses to historical strains 1.43 (1.17–1.75) 2.66 (1.95–3.64)
  Outcome: Post-vaccination Day 21 Seroprotective Titers ≥ 1:40 vs. < 1:40: Full Data Set
2 Day 0 2011–2012 strain titers ≥ 40 (ref. < 40) Day 0 8.46 (3.94–18.15) 6.28 (2.60–15.19)
3 Count of seroprotective responses to historical strains 1.28 (1.02–1.61) 1.34 (1.09–1.65)
  Outcome: Post-vaccination Day 21 Seroprotective Titers ≥ 1:40 vs. < 1:40: Restricted to Day 0 Vaccine Seronegatives
4 Count of seroprotective responses to historical strains 1.41 (1.09–1.82) 1.32 (1.07–1.62)
  Outcome: Seroconversion - 4-fold Rise in Day 21 Titers
5 Count of seroprotective responses to historical strains 1.20 (0.96–1.50) 1.24 (1.01–1.52)
6 log2 Day 0 2011–2012 strain titers 0.53 (0.41–0.69) 0.55 (0.42–0.72)

All models adjusted for age group, sex, race, site (Marshfield vs. Pittsburgh), and diabetes. CI, confidence interval. *The number of historical strains for which each specimen had a titer ≥ 1:40 for that type was called the “historical count”; for example, if a given serum specimen were tested against 6 historical A(H1N1) viruses and had a titer ≥1:40 for 4 of them, the historical count was 4 for A(H1N1).
