Article Synopsis
- The study highlighted the significant prevalence of hospital-acquired influenza (HAI), showing it occurred in 11.38% of influenza cases, with an increase noted after 2012.
- Patients with HAI tended to be older and more likely to have chronic conditions, particularly metabolic disorders, which posed the highest risk for acquiring HAI.
- HAI cases resulted in longer hospital and ICU stays, with a higher likelihood of hospitalization and death within 30 days, indicating severe impacts on patient outcomes.
