Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the safety of GSK's inactivated quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine, examining adverse events occurring within 7 days of vaccination in Belgium, Germany, and Spain during the 2022/2023 season.
- A total of 1,332 participants, including both adults and children, reported adverse events, with 49.8% after the first dose, primarily experiencing injection-site pain, fatigue, and headaches.
- The overall findings indicated that while adverse events were common, particularly in adults, no serious adverse events were linked to the vaccine across all tested age and risk groups.
Estimation of median survival and its 95% confidence interval depends on the choice of the survival function, standard error, and a method for constructing the confidence interval. This paper outlines several available possibilities in SAS® (version 9.4) PROC LIFETEST and compares them on theoretical grounds and using simulated data, with criteria: ability to estimate the 95% CI, coverage probability, interval width, and appropriateness for practical use.

Even though the level of certain lipoproteins is indisputably related to the degree of this atherosclerotic involvement of the coronary arteries, the question of whether lipoproteins are also associated with the obstructive lesions remains uncertain.
Methods: This study addressed the question in 53 males (age, 44.
