Outcomes of Immunocompromised Adults Hospitalized With Laboratory-confirmed Influenza in the United States, 2011-2015.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hospitalized immunocompromised (IC) adults with influenza may have worse outcomes than hospitalized non-IC adults.

Methods

We identified adults hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed influenza during 2011-2015 seasons through CDC's Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network. IC patients had human immunodefiency virus (HIV)/AIDS, cancer, stem cell or organ transplantation, nonsteroid immunosuppressive therapy, immunoglobulin deficiency, asplenia, and/or other rare conditions.

Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models controlled for confounding by patient demographic characteristics, pre-existing medical conditions, influenza vac
