| Abstract | Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) infection remains common worldwide despite recent vaccine efforts. Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is the most severe form of Spn infection. Known individual risk factors for IPD include male gender and African American race. However, area-level socioeconomic factors have not been assessed. We examined the association of neighborhood-level disadvantages and risk of IPD in a tertiary medical center located in a socioeconomic diverse urban area in the Southeastern United States. Methods: Patients hospitalized with culture-confirmed Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) infection from 01/01/2010 - 12/31/2019 were identified from electronic health record (EHR). The cohort's demographic and clinical information were obtained from EHR. Patients' residential address was geocoded and matched to 2015 area deprivation index (ADI). The association of ADI and IPD was evaluated using logistic regression after controlling for the demographic information (age, sex, race) and clinical factors (BMI, smoking status, alcoholism, immunosuppressive status, vaccination status, comorbidities). Results: A total of 268 patients were hospitalized with culture-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae infection and 92 (34.3%) of them had IPD. The analysis showed that higher neighborhood deprivation (ADI in 79-100) was associated with increased risk of developing IPD in younger patients with age less than 65 (p = 0.007) after controlling for the individual demographic information and clinical factors. Conclusions: ADI is a risk factor for IPD in younger adults. Community-level socioeconomic risk factors should be considered when developing prevention strategies such as increasing vaccine uptake in high risk population to reduce the disease burden of IPD. |
