Area of Science:

Public Health
Epidemiology
Virology

Background:

Influenza virus infections represent a significant global health concern.
Accurate, up-to-date mortality statistics are crucial for public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide current statistics on direct mortality attributed to Influenza viruses in the United States.
To analyze age-specific mortality trends associated with Influenza infections.

Main Methods:

Electronic search of the CDC WONDER database for US mortality data.
Utilized Influenza-specific ICD-10 codes for data extraction.
Analysis encompassed death certificates from all 50 states and the District of Columbia (excluding nonresidents).

Main Results:

From 2018 to 2020, Influenza caused an average of 7,670 deaths per year in the US.
The mean mortality rate was 2.3 per 100,000 population.
Mortality rates escalated with age, from 0.2 per 100,000 in the 5-24 age group to 37.4 per 100,000 in those aged 85+.

Conclusions:

Influenza poses a substantial clinical burden on the general US population.
Older adults (85+ years) face a markedly higher risk of Influenza-related mortality.
Public health strategies should prioritize Influenza prevention and management in elderly populations.
