Risk of stroke within 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days after influenza vaccination in Alberta, Canada: A population‐based study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Influenza vaccination is associated with a longer-term protective effect against stroke; however, it has a short-term inflammatory response which may increase short-term risk of stroke. The aim was to investigate the association between influenza vaccination and short-term risk of stroke in adults. METHODS: Administrative data were obtained from the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan for all adults in Alberta, Canada, from September 2009 to December 2018. The hazard of any stroke (acute ischaemic stroke, intracerebral haemorrhage, subarachnoid haemorrhage and transient ischaemic attack) within 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days of influenza vaccination compared to unexposed time was analysed using Andersen-Gill Cox models, with adjustment for age, sex, anticoagulant use, atrial fibrillation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, hypertension, income quintile, and rural or urban home location. RESULTS: In the entire cohort consisting of 4,141,209 adults (29,687,899 person-years), 1,769,565 (42.7%) individuals received at least one vaccination. In total 38,126 stroke events were recorded with 1309 occurring within 30 days of a vaccination event. Influenza vaccination was associated with a significantly reduced hazard of stroke within 3 days (hazard ratio [HR] 0.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.73-0.93), 7 days (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.80-0.95), 14 days (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.81-0.93), 21 days (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.80-0.91) and 30 days (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.65-0.68). CONCLUSIONS: An increased early risk associated with vaccination was not observed. The risk of stroke was reduced at all time points within 30 days after influenza vaccination.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
