[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]AIM:[/h] In vitro Influenzinum induce a cellular change. We present the results of the first study examining the effectiveness of Influenzinum against influenza-like illnesses.
[h=4]METHOD:[/h] Retrospective cohort study during winter 2014-2015. After influenza epidemic, a self-assessment questionnaire was offered to patients presenting for a consultation. The primary endpoint was the declaration of an influenza-like illness. The exposed patients (treated by Influenzinum) were matched to two non-exposed patients (untreated) with a propensity score. A conditional logistic model expressed influenza-like illness risk reduction provided by the Influenzinum.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] The cohort included 3514 patients recruited from 46 general practitioners. After matching, the treated group (n=2041) and the untreated group (n=482) did not differ on variables collected. Influenzinum preventive therapy does not significantly alter the likelihood of influenza-like illness (adjusted odds ratio=0,91 [0,62 to 1,35], p=0,64).
[h=4]CONCLUSION:[/h] Influenzinum preventive therapy did not appear effective in preventing influenza-like illness.
