Improved pertussis vaccine uptake following in-hospital administration among pregnant women living with HIV.
Observational study in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPregnant women living with HIV (PWLHIV) are at increased risk of infectious complications during pregnancy, and HIV-exposed but uninfected women are more susceptible to serious infectious diseases. Therefore, maternal immunization during pregnancy is an essential standard of care for this patient population. However, vaccination during pregnancy is suboptimal among these patients.
methodsThis is a single-center retrospective observational study, conducted at the University Hospital Federico II of Naples, Italy. We examined how our Center's vaccination uptake among PWLHIV changed after the introduction of in-hospital vaccine administration. To account for the small sample size and assess the robustness of the findings, Firth's penalized logistic regression was performed as a sensitivity analysis.
resultsBetween January 2021 and December 2024, 41 PWLHIV have been referred to the Regional Referral Centre for HIV in Pregnancy. Out of 38 eligible patients, 21 received the Tdap vaccine, resulting in an overall uptake of 55.3%. Following the introduction of in-hospital vaccine administration in January 2023, we observed a significant increase in pertussis-containing vaccine uptake among PWLHIV. Vaccine uptake increased from 20% (January 2021-December 2022) to 78.3% after the introduction of in-hospital vaccine administration (January 2023-December 2024), (p < 0.001). The sensitivity analysis using Firth's penalized logistic regression confirmed the independent association between in-hospital vaccination and vaccine uptake (adjusted OR 11.45; 95% CI 2.45-68.32; p < 0.001).
conclusionsWe observed improved vaccine uptake after introducing vaccine administration within the hospital setting. We believe that this strategy might significantly improve vaccine administration among PWLHIV.
