Tdap, GSK’s reduced-antigen tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis vaccine; OAD, obstructive airway diseases; CI, confidence interval; D, diphtheria toxoid; N, number of adults with available results; IU, international units; T, tetanus toxoid; PT, pertussis toxoid; FHA, filamentous hemagglutinin; PRN, pertactin.

aSelected studies for the comparator population were the 5 studies included in the meta-analysis (Table S2) and study Tdap-003. Only the study groups vaccinated with Tdap were considered, and for co-administration studies, only the sequential administration groups following Tdap vaccination were considered.

bFor studies Tdap-002 and Zoster-042, the immune response to the pertussis antigens was recalculated following the definition used in the meta-analysis.

cPrimary cohort.

dExploratory cohort.

eFor study Tdap-003, the booster response to PT, FHA and PRN antigens was defined as: post-vaccination antibody concentration ≥5 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay units (EU)/mL for participants with pre-vaccination antibody concentration <5 EU/mL and post-vaccination antibody concentration ≥2 times the pre-vaccination antibody concentration for participants with pre-vaccination antibody concentration ≥5 EU/mL.
