Hospitalisation from seasonal influenza among persons with type 1 diabetes: a cohort study from the Swedish National Diabetes Register
To our knowledge, this is the first large study to highlight that persons with T1D have a threefold higher risk of hospitalisation due to seasonal influenza compared with matched controls from the general population. It is important for healthcare professionals to acknowledge this excess risk, particularly in older persons with T1D, who have cardiovascular risk factors and reduced kidney function.
