The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between adherence to anti-influenza medication and the duration of influenza illness in children aged 6-11 years, who were prescribed anti-influenza medication at a pharmacy
Efficacy
Not applicable
Duration of influenza illness from the first administration of medication to resolution
Influenza illness: fever (37.5 or higher than 37.5 degree Celsius), cough or nasal congestion/runny nose
- Number of days from the first administration of medication to the return of normal body temperature (below 37.5 degree Celsius)
- Number of days from the first administration of medication to the resolution of each of the 7 influenza symptoms ("cough", "sore throat", "headache", "nasal congestion/runny nose", "feeling feverish/chills", "muscle or joint pain", "fatigue")
- Number of days from the first administration of medication to the resolution of all influenza symptoms
- Presence or absence of influenza symptoms ("cough", "nasal congestion/runny nose", "body temperature") on day 5 of medication
- Presence or absence of antipyretic effect (return to normal body temperature below 37.5 degree Celsius) on day 5 of medication
- Presence or absence of any of the 7 influenza symptoms ("cough", "sore throat", "headache", "nasal congestion/runny nose", "feeling feverish/chills", "muscle or joint pain", "fatigue") on day 5 of medication
- Presence or absence of each influenza symptom on day 5 of medication
- Presence or absence of influenza-related complications (pneumonia, bronchitis, sinusitis, otitis media, influenza encephalopathy or encephalitis, febrile seizures, myositis)
- Hospitalization status
- Compliance rate of medication adherence and breakdown of reasons for difficulties in adherence

This observational study was conducted to investigate the relationship between adherence to the anti-influenza medication regimen and the number of days from the start of drug administration to resolution of influenza symptoms in pediatric patients aged 6 to 12 years with influenza. The time to resolution of influenza symptoms was significantly shorter in the adherent group (1305 patients) than in the non-adherent group (312 patients) (p<0.0001).

Of the primary analysis population, 80.7% (1,355 cases) were adherent and 19.3% (324 cases) were non-adherent. The breakdown of anti-influenza medications taken in the primary analysis population was baloxavir (20.5%; 345 cases), oseltamivir (31.6%; 531 cases), laninamivir (40.6%; 682 cases), and zanamivir (7.2%; 121 cases). The proportion of patients who adhered to medication in each medication group (hereinafter referred to as "adherence rate") was 98.6% (340/345 cases) for baloxavir, 77.0% (409/531 cases) for oseltamivir, 76.8% (524/682 cases) for laninamivir, and 67.8% (82/121 cases) for zanamivir. The proportion of patients aged 6-8 year was 49.4% (669/1,355 cases) in the medication adherence group and 59.0% (191/324 cases) in the medication non-adherence group.
A total of 2,556 study participants consented during the study period, and no patients withdrew consent. Of the eligible patients, 745 who did not respond to both questionnaires were excluded. Furthermore, 119 patients with irregular response dates, 99 with incomplete data on the date of influenza virus infection onset, medication initiation date, and dispensing date, 2 patients whose prescribed anti-influenza medication was not baloxavir, oseltamivir, zanamivir, or laninamivir, 11 patients with incomplete responses to the questionnaire to medication compliance/non-compliance, and 13 patients whose medication initiation date was not between 0 and 7 days were excluded. The primary analysis population consisted of 1,679 patients.
Not investigated
The results of the analysis of the primary endpoint in the primary analysis population showed that the median number of days until influenza symptoms resolution in each group was 5.0 days in the adherent group and 6.0 days in the non-adherent group, with the difference between the two groups [95% confidence interval] (days) being -1.0 [-1.0, 0.0], meaning that the number of days until influenza symptoms resolution in the adherent group was significantly shorter than in the non-adherent group (p<0.0001). The proportion of discontinued cases was 25.5% in the adherent group and 37.5% in the non-adherent group.
