Factors Influencing Influenza Vaccination Among Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease : A Population-Based Cross-sectional Study

This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with vaccination coverage among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in Korea using the fourth to the sixth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES IV, V, VI). A total of 16 812 subjects aged 40 years and older who underwent spirometry and had an "influenza vaccination history" were analyzed. The vaccination rate of middle-aged (40-64 years) COPD patients was only 31.9%; whereas, the vaccination rate of elderly (65 years and older) COPD patients was 80.0%. The results of a multiple regression analysis indicated that older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.12; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.09-1.14), poor self-rated health status (OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.14-1.95), regular health check-up (OR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.93-3.51), married marital status (OR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.42-0.96), and household income below average (OR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.53-0.98) were associated with influenza vaccination. More attention and targeted interventions are required to improve the influenza vaccination rate of COPD patients.
