"While the mortality gap between COVID-19 and influenza has narrowed since the
onset of the pandemic, COVID continues to carry a substantially higher
short-term risk of death than seasonal flu despite the availability of a COVID
vaccine, according to a large population-based cohort study from South Korea.
For the study, published last week in the
International Journal of Infectious
Diseases, Korean researchers drew on data from national health insurance
claims to compare 30-day all-cause mortality among more than 15 million people
diagnosed as having COVID or influenza from July 2022 to December 2023.
A COVID diagnosis was associated with 76% higher odds of death within 30 days
than influenza. Overall, 0.20% of patients with COVID died, compared with
0.016% of those with influenza, a roughly 12.5-fold difference in crude
mortality. Among hospitalized patients, COVID was linked to a substantially
greater risk of death in those receiving mechanical ventilation (1.88-fold
higher)."
