Rates of Severe Influenza-Associated Outcomes Among Older Adults Living With Diabetes-Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET), 2012-2017.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is common among older adults hospitalized with influenza, yet data are limited on the impact of DM on risk of severe influenza-associated outcomes.

Methods

We included adults aged ≥65 years hospitalized with influenza during 2012-2013 through 2016-2017 from the Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET), a population-based surveillance system for laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations conducted in defined counties within 13 states.
