Study to Evaluate the Impact of Reactogenicity on Quality of Life (QoL), After Administration of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' Candidate Herpes Zoster Subunit (HZ/su) Vaccine (GSK1437173A) in Adults ≥ 50 Years of Age

Descriptive analysis of the mean and standard deviation (SD) of the change from baseline of the SF-36 physical functioning (PF) score pre- and post dose 1 overall. Changes in the score were measured as Baseline versus mean score over the period Day 2 to Day 8 after first vaccination. Baseline for dose 1 is defined as the mean of the assessments at Day -7 and Day 1. The post-vaccination completion of SF-36 questionnaires brought home by the subjects were Days 2 to 7, with Day 8 to be filled in at the site. The SF-36 scale scores are constructed following the summated ratings of the questions and standardized SF-36 scoring algorithm. Scores range from 0 to 100, with a higher score representing a higher level of functioning.

Descriptive analysis of the mean and standard deviation of the change from baseline of the SF-36 PF scale score pre and post dose 2 overall. Changes in the score were measured as Baseline versus mean score over the period Day 2 to Day 8 after second vaccination. For dose 2 baseline is defined as the mean of the three assessments at Day -7, Day 1 and Day 61 (Day 1 for dose 2). The post-vaccination completion of SF-36 questionnaires brought home by the subjects were on Day 2 to Day 7, with Day 8 to be filled in at the site. The SF-36 scale scores are constructed following the summated ratings of the questions and standardized SF-36 scoring algorithm.

Descriptive analysis of the change in mean SF-36 PF single item score from baseline. Changes in the score were measured as Baseline versus mean score over the period Day 2 to Day 8 after the first vaccination. Baseline for dose 1 is defined as the mean of the assessments at Day -7 and Day 1. The post-vaccination completion of SF-36 questionnaires brought home by the subjects were Days 2 to 7, with Day 8 to be filled in at the site. The SF-36 scale scores are constructed following the summated ratings of the questions and standardized SF-36 scoring algorithm. Scores range from 0 to 100, with a higher score representing a higher level of functioning. Among items are vigorous activities (running, lifting heavy objects, participating in strenuous sports), moderate activities (moving a table, pushing a vaccum cleaner, bowling, or playing golf) and others, described in the categories below.

Descriptive analysis of the change in mean SF-36 PF single item score from baseline. Baseline versus mean score over the period Day 2 to Day 8 after each vaccination. For dose 2 baseline is defined as the mean of the three assessments at Day -7, Day 1 and Day 61 (equivalent to Day 1 for dose 2) The post-vaccination completion of SF-36 questionnaires brought home by the subjects were on Day 2 to Day 7, with Day 8 to be filled in at the site. The SF-36 scale scores are constructed following the summated ratings of the questions and standardized SF-36 scoring algorithm.

Descriptive analysis. SF-36 Role physical scores change was measured from baseline score. Baseline versus mean score on Day 8 after first vaccination. Baseline for dose 1 is defined as the mean of the assessments at Day -7 and Day 1. The post-vaccination completion of SF-36 questionnaires brought home by the subjects were on Day 2 to Day 7, with Day 8 to be filled in at the site.

Descriptive analysis. QALY estimation is done from baseline score, based on EQ-5D questionnaires. Baseline versus combined score over the period Day 2 to Day 8 after each vaccination. Baseline for dose 1 is defined as the mean of the assessments at Day -7 and Day 1. The post-vaccination completion of EQ-5D questionnaires brought home by the subjects were on Day 2 to Day 7, with Day 8 to be filled in at the site. The EQ-5D is a generic measure of health status that provides a simple description profile based on 5 items: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression, which are used to generate the EQ-5D index utility score. The EQ-5D index utility score ranges from 0 (worst health state) to 1 (perfect health state); 1 reflects the best outcome.

The EQ-5D is a generic measure of health status that provides a simple description profile based on 5 items: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. The 5 items are combined to generate health profiles (e.g. 1-no problem/no symptom) and profiles are subsequently converted to a continuous single index utility score (higher scores represent a better quality of life).
