In‐Hospital Death and Risk Factors in Adults With Influenza in Spain (2016–2022): A Cross‐Sectional Study With Focus on Older Patients
Influenza deaths increase with age; this relationship is accentuated in people aged 80 or older. Respiratory failure was the main risk factor in all patients hospitalized for influenza. Treatment with oseltamivir protected patients (especially those < 80 years) against deaths. Patients < 80 years-old carried a higher risk of death if they had a neoplasia, whereas in ≥ 80 patients, the risk was associated with dementia and noninfluenza pneumonia.
