See the literature search strategy in <a href="#niceng240er30.appb">appendix B</a> and economic study selection flow chart in <a href="#niceng240er30.appg">appendix G</a>.</p></div></div><div id="niceng240er30.s1.1.8"><h4>Economic model</h4><p>No economic modelling was undertaken for this review because the committee agreed that other topics were higher priorities for economic evaluation. This was because this topic was an epidemiological review which does not involve a comparison of competing courses of action.</p></div><div id="niceng240er30.s1.1.9"><h4>The committee&#x02019;s discussion and interpretation of the evidence</h4><div id="niceng240er30.s1.1.9.1"><h5>The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>This review aimed to identify risk factors for recurrent meningococcal disease; therefore, risk ratios and odds ratios for recurrence of meningococcal disease were selected as the critical outcomes. No other outcomes were included.</p></div><div id="niceng240er30.s1.1.9.2"><h5>The quality of the evidence</h5><p>The quality of the evidence was assessed using GRADE methodology. The evidence for the outcome identified in this review was rated as very low quality and the reasons for downgrading the evidence were risk of bias (arising from study participation, measurement of the outcome, and failure to adjust for confounding factors) and imprecision due to a very low number of events.</p><p>Evidence was found for 1 prognostic factor only, complement deficiency.</p></div><div id="niceng240er30.s1.1.9.3"><h5>Benefits and harms</h5><p>The committee considered the evidence for factors associated with an increased risk of recurrent meningococcal disease and noted that evidence was only identified for a single prognostic factor and the quality of the evidence was very low. The committee made recommendations based on the best available evidence and their clinical knowledge and experience. Because meningococcal disease is very rare in neonates the protocol for this evidence review did not include neonates. However, based on their clinical knowledge and experience, the committee agreed that the recommendations about recurrent meningococcal disease that applied to babies (aged 28 days to 1 year) would also apply to neonates.</p><p>The evidence reviewed showed a strong association between presence of complement deficiency and an increased risk of recurrent meningococcal disease in babies, children and adults combined. Based on this evidence, and their clinical knowledge and experience, the committee recommended that congenital complement deficiency or acquired inhibition should be considered as a risk factor for recurrent meningococcal disease. Based on their experience, the committee also agreed that other reasons for primary or secondary immunodeficiency, such as HIV and splenectomy or splenic dysfunction, would increase susceptibility to infection more broadly and would therefore also be associated with an increased risk of recurrent meningococcal disease.</p><p>Based on the evidence reviewed that showed that an increased risk of recurrent meningococcal disease was associated with complement deficiency, and the consensus clinical opinion of the committee, it was recommended that a detailed drug history should be taken, because immunomodulatory drugs such as eculizumab may suppress the immune system and increase susceptibility to infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis (<a class="bk_pop" href="#niceng240er30.s1.ref3">Joint Formulary Committee 2022</a>).</p><p>The committee acknowledged the limited evidence base identified for this review and made recommendations based on their clinical knowledge and experience. The committee discussed including a recommendation for further research given that evidence was only identified for 1 prognostic factor. However, they agreed that this was not appropriate because the prognostic factors of interest and recurrent meningococcal disease are both sufficiently rare that very large sample sizes would be required to give reliable results, and it would be difficult to recruit large numbers as people with known immunodeficiency would receive interventions to prevent recurrent infections such that future episodes rarely occur.</p><p>The committee agreed it was important to make recommendations about the actions that should be taken following both a first episode and a recurrent episode of meningococcal disease. The committee agreed that it was necessary to recommend actions that should be taken after a first episode to identify people at risk of a future episode so that interventions can be initiated early with the aim of preventing future episodes, rather than waiting for a second, potentially preventable, episode to occur. However, there were some differences in the actions recommended following first and recurrent episodes, as they agreed that the likelihood of factors that increase susceptibility to infection being present would be greater in those that have already had a recurrent episode compared with those who have had a single episode.</p><div id="niceng240er30.s1.1.9.3.1"><h5>People with a first episode of meningococcal disease</h5><p>The committee were aware, based on their knowledge and experience that the risk of infections is higher in people with HIV. For example, they were aware of evidence that the risk of invasive meningococcal disease (<a class="bk_pop" href="#niceng240er30.s1.ref5">Simmons 2015</a>) is higher in people with HIV compared with people who are HIV negative. The committee discussed that it is common practice to offer a HIV test to adults with a serious infection, so recommended this should be done following a first episode of meningococcal disease. However, the committee agreed they would be less likely to suspect HIV in babies and children due, in part, to behaviours that increase risk of HIV being uncommon in these age groups. Therefore, routine HIV testing in babies and children with a first episode of meningococcal disease was not recommended, but the committee agreed it should be considered where there are signs of immunodeficiency and risk factors for HIV, such as being from a country with a high rate of HIV infection (<a class="bk_pop" href="#niceng240er30.s1.ref4">NICE 2016</a>). The committee agreed that signs of immunodeficiency alone would be more likely to indicate primary immunodeficiency than presence of HIV in babies and children. The committee did not include neonates in this recommendation as they were not aware of any link between HIV and neonatal meningococcal disease.</p><p>The committee recommended that in addition to a drug history (discussed above), an immunisation history should be taken. They agreed taking an immunisation history was important to identify both people who have not had routine vaccinations for Neisseria meningitidis, in which vaccination uptake may help prevent future occurrences, and people who may have not responded to vaccination, indicating possible immunodeficiency as discussed above.</p></div><div id="niceng240er30.s1.1.9.3.2"><h5>People with a recurrent episode of meningococcal disease</h5><p>The committee agreed that people with recurrent meningococcal disease should be reviewed by appropriate immunology and infection specialists (paediatric immunology and infectious disease specialist for babies and children, and adult infection specialist or immunologist for adults) to seek advice on treating the current episode and to identify what action is needed to reduce the risk of further recurrence. They could not make recommendations about what further investigations or interventions would be needed as the accuracy of investigations for identifying immunodeficiency, or the effectiveness of interventions to reduce recurrence, were not reviewed as part of this guideline. However, they discussed that the further action would be guided by the specialist and would likely involve investigations for primary and secondary immunodeficiency, and consideration of vaccinations and other interventions to manage the risk associated with any identified immunodeficiency. They agreed it was necessary to specify the roles involved based on their experience that sometimes people are incorrectly referred to immunological laboratories which can cause delays.</p><p>Several of the recommendations the committee made regarding recurrent meningococcal disease were the same as or similar to those made following a single episode. The committee agreed that a detailed immunisation and drug history should be taken, and adults should be offered a HIV test, as per the recommendations above. However, they agreed that a HIV test should also be offered to babies and children with recurrent meningococcal disease, in the absence of additional risk factors for HIV due to the increased likelihood of there being an underlying immunodeficiency in people with recurrent meningococcal disease discussed above.</p></div></div><div id="niceng240er30.s1.1.9.4"><h5>Cost effectiveness and resource use</h5><p>This review question was not prioritised for economic analysis and therefore the committee made a qualitative assessment of the likely cost-effectiveness of their recommendations. The committee noted that recurrent meningococcal disease was rare. Further, the recommendations do not fundamentally change current practice and no significant resource impact to the NHS is anticipated.</p><p>The committee considered that highlighting risk factors associated with recurrent meningococcal disease would promote awareness which in turn would facilitate more timely, appropriate, and cost-effective management. The committee considered that their management recommendations for recurrent meningococcal disease were generally low cost and likely to be cost-effective given the anticipated benefits of such measures.</p></div></div><div id="niceng240er30.s1.1.10"><h4>Recommendations supported by this evidence review</h4><p>This evidence review supports recommendations 1.10.1 to 1.10.2, 1.10.5, 1.14.2 to 1.14.4 and 1.14.7.
