Diabetes mortality burden attributable to influenza in China: A population-based time-series analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have found an association between influenza, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease mortality, and all-cause mortality. And the vaccination of elderly diabetes is often recommended to reduce the risk of hospitalization and death. Nevertheless, no previous work has investigated the short-term impact of influenza on diabetes mortality in China. In this study, data from the national surveillance system was used to quantify the impact of influenza on diabetes-related mortality and provide guidance for the care of diabetes patients.

Methods

Data from the National Influenza Surveillance Center was collected for the period between 2015 and 2019 and weekly diabetes-related deaths were calculated from China's Disease Surveillance Points System (CDSP).
