Influenza (flu) vaccine → Anaphylaxis

Evidence dossier · candidate cand-influenza-anaphylaxis · VICP program · · DRAFT — not a determination
This is a draft research-tracking dossier, not a determination that Influenza (flu) vaccine causes Anaphylaxis, and not an incidence or legal finding. All evidence is flagged needs_human_review and must be reviewed before any page is published or cited. Every value is grounded in retrieved citations (PMID + retrieval date); unsourced items read "no evidence found / not assessable". Symmetric search: every supporting query has a mirror/null query, and zeros are shown (negative dossiers report the absence of signal).

Bradford Hill assessment (computed)

Each viewpoint is derived from the node statuses below (see the framework crosswalk in compensation-tables-schema.md §8). Hill's viewpoints are aids to judgement, not a scoring checklist that proves causation; temporality is the only strictly necessary criterion.

Synthesized conclusionInadequate to accept or reject

NASEM (formerly IOM), "Adverse Effects of Vaccines: Evidence and Causality" (2011, updated 2024). Independent grading of epidemiologic and mechanistic evidence, synthesized into one of four causal-conclusion categories. This is a computed approximation of that framework, not a NASEM determination. See compensation-tables-schema.md §8bis.

Case-definition standard: Brighton Collaboration (named in spec §1: anaphylaxis) — governs the case-certainty scale on A1/A2/A6/A8 below. See compensation-tables-schema.md §8ter.

Finding: No retrieved evidence addresses dose or lot exposure mapping for influenza vaccine-associated anaphylaxis. The two retrieved studies (PMID 39226489, PMID 41493293) focus on artificial intelligence methods for identifying immune-related adverse events from immune checkpoint inhibitors and for adjudicating major adverse cardiovascular events, neither of which involves influenza vaccine, anaphylaxis, or dose/lot exposure mapping.

The retrieved studies focus on self-controlled case series methodology (PMID 34937500) and safety of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines (PMID 40664645), with the latter including anaphylaxis as an outcome but not for influenza vaccine. PMID 38833248 is unrelated to vaccines.

The only two vaccine-relevant studies (PMID 30851046, PMID 34937500) discuss self-controlled case series methodology or systematic review design, but present no stratified risk estimates for this specific vaccine-outcome pair. The remaining PMIDs (23884605, 37082039, 23296061, 32905149, 35899169) address unrelated topics (genetic polymorphisms in cancer, diabetes, coronary artery disease, or oral adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination).

How this was built

Per node: a supporting and a mirror PubMed query built from the node's measure / population / comparator / hit_rule; top hits fetched (title + abstract); each record classified (supports / refutes / ambiguous) by xAI with a heuristic fallback; a per-node synthesis is generated strictly from the retrieved PMIDs; the node status is then rolled up to C1–C6. Full query provenance is shown per node above. Reproduce the build: python -m evidence_run. Data: data/evidence_run/state.json.
