Table 2.
The mortality rates and mortality rate ratio (MRR) of recipients of two-dose MV compared with one-dose MV in relation to the administration of campaign-OPV-before-enrolment, overall and by number of doses
Mortality rates (deaths/person-days) |
MRR (2-dose/1-dose MV) (95% CI) | ||
---|---|---|---|
Early 2-dose group | 1-dose group | ||
No campaign-OPV-before-enrolment | 1.11 (41/1 354 117) | 1.88 (131/2 542 844) | 0.60 (0.42 to 0.85)* |
Campaign-OPV-before-enrolment | 1.69 (17/368 371) | 1.45 (28/705 350) | 1.16 (0.64 to 2.13)* |
1-dose OPV | 1.23 (4/118 730) | 1.68 (10/217 279) | 0.72 (0.23 to 2.31) |
2-dose OPV | 1.90 (13/249 641) | 1.35 (18/488 071) | 1.42 (0.70 to 2.90) |
Notes: The estimates are based on a Cox proportional hazards model; to be precise, we have reported person-days and not person-years.
*Test for whether the effect of early two-dose MV is equal in those receiving no campaign-OPV-before-enrolment and those receiving campaign-OPV-before-enrolment, p=0.06.
MV, measles vaccine; OPV, oral polio vaccine.
