ab Atmar 1990.

Methods Double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, randomised trial
Participants 74 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40 years (data on 17 asthmatics were not extracted)
Interventions Cold ‐ recombinant vaccine A (H1N1) (n = 16) versus cold ‐ recombinant vaccine A (H3N2) (n = 13) versus cold ‐ recombinant vaccine B (n = 17) versus placebo (n = 26)
 Intranasal
Outcomes Pulmonary function tests (performed on days 0, 3 to 4, 7 after vaccination):
  • FEV1

  • FVC

  • FEV1/FVC

  • Forced expiratory flow rate 25% to 75% (FEF 25 to 75)

Notes The authors report several non‐significant drops in FEV and FVC up to 7 days' postinoculation and a higher incidence of ILI (17/46 versus 4/26) in the vaccinated arms. Safety data only were extracted.
