Changes in influenza-associated excess mortality in China between 2012–2019 and 2020–2021: a population-based statistical modelling study by Xiaowei Deng, Jiangmei Liu, Minghan Wang, Nana Chen, Feiran Hao, Juan Yang, Maigeng Zhou, Hongjie Yu

“…We found that the influenza-associated mortality was generally decreasing from 2020 to 2021, for instance, influenza A/H1N1-associated excess respiratory mortality (ERM) decreased from 2.62 per 100,000 persons (95% confidence interval: 0.16–5.21) to 0.31 (0.02–0.60) in the northern region and from 3.79 (0.09–7.05) to 0.24 (0.02–0.46) in the southern region between 2012–2019 and 2020–2021. A similar pattern was observed for A/H3N2-associated ERM. While the influenza B remained similar scale, for instance, the ERM was 2.90 (0.72–4.3) and 2.26 (1.76–2.76) in the southern region between 2012–2019 and 2020–2021, respectively. …”
