Influenza-Associated Excess Mortality in South Korea

TLDR
The impact of influenza on mortality in Korea is substantial, particularly among the elderly and the rural population, and more-comprehensive studies may be needed to estimate the full impact of flu.

Estimates of global seasonal influenza-associated respiratory mortality: a modelling study

A. Danielle Iuliano, +138 more
- 13 Dec 2017 - 
TL;DR: These global influenza-associated respiratory mortality estimates are higher than previously reported, suggesting that previous estimates might have underestimated disease burden.

Ten-year trends and prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis among the Korean population, 2008-2017.

TL;DR: The results of this nationwide cross-sectional survey improve the understanding of the age-stratified epidemiology of allergic diseases in Korea and suggest the need for the development of tailored and precise strategies to prevent allergy diseases in different age groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneity in Estimates of the Impact of Influenza on Population Mortality: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: No "average" estimate of excess mortality could be made due to the substantial variability of the estimates, partially attributable to methodological differences in the studies, and standardization of methodology in estimation of influenza-associated mortality would permit improved comparisons in the future.

A joint analysis of influenza-associated hospitalizations and mortality in Hong Kong, 1998-2013.

TL;DR: Substantial disease burden associated with influenza viruses were estimated in Hong Kong particularly among children and elderly in 1998–2013 and Infections with influenza A(H1N1) was suggested to be more serious than A( H3N2) in older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Newly Emerging Influenza Viruses by Detecting the Virally Infected Cells Based on Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy and Principal Component Analysis.

TL;DR: A potential of combination of SERS and PCA to identify newly emerging influenza viruses through sensing the cells infected with the viruses is demonstrated.

The annual impact of seasonal influenza in the US: Measuring disease burden and costs

TL;DR: The results highlight the enormous annual burden of influenza in the US, with hospitalization costs and lost productivity from missed work days and lost lives comprise the bulk of the economic burden.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absolute humidity modulates influenza survival, transmission, and seasonality

TL;DR: Differences in AH provide a single, coherent, more physically sound explanation for the observed variability of IVS, IVT and influenza seasonality in temperate regions and can be further tested through future, additional laboratory, epidemiological and modeling studies.

Estimates of deaths associated with seasonal influenza - United States, 1976-2007.

TL;DR: The findings indicated the wide variation in the estimated number of deaths from season to season was closely related to the particular influenza virus types and subtypes in circulation.

Influenza and the Winter Increase in Mortality in the United States, 1959–1999

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the cause of the winter increase in US mortality is singular and probably influenza, and the primary determinant appears to be the influenza virus.

Global Mortality Estimates for the 2009 Influenza Pandemic from the GLaMOR Project: A Modeling Study

TL;DR: A two-stage statistical modeling approach is used to estimate the global mortality burden of the 2009 influenza pandemic from mortality data obtained from multiple countries.
