Global burden of influenza-associated lower respiratory tract infections and hospitalizations among adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
Influenza illness burden is substantial, particularly among young children, older adults, and those with underlying conditions. Initiatives are underway to develop better global estimates for influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths. Knowledge gaps remain regarding the role of influenza viruses in severe respiratory disease and hospitalizations among adults, particularly in lower-income settings.
