"
Background
Previous comparative analyses of people admitted to hospital for COVID-19
versus influenza evaluated the risk of death, hospital readmission, and a
narrow set of health outcomes up to 6 months following infection. We aimed to
do a comparative evaluation of both acute and long-term risks and burdens of a
comprehensive set of health outcomes following hospital admission for COVID-19
or seasonal influenza."
"
Interpretation
Although rates of death and adverse health outcomes following hospital
admission for either seasonal influenza or COVID-19 are high, this comparative
analysis shows that hospital admission for COVID-19 was associated with higher
long-term risks of death and adverse health outcomes in nearly every organ
system (except for the pulmonary system) and significant cumulative excess
DALYs than hospital admission for seasonal influenza. The substantial
cumulative burden of health loss in both groups calls for greater prevention of
hospital admission for these two viruses and for greater attention to the care
needs of people with long-term health effects due to either seasonal influenza
or SARS-CoV-2 infection."
