Respiratory and circulatory deaths attributable to influenza A & B
Description:
Assigning causes of deaths to seasonal infectious diseases is difficult in part due to laboratory testing prior to death being uncommon. Since influenza (and other common respiratory pathogens) are therefore notoriously underreported as a (contributing) cause of death in deathcause statistics modeling studies are commonly used to estimate the impact of influenza on mortality.
Objective
To estimate mortality attributable to influenza adjusted for other common respiratory pathogens, baseline seasonal trends and extreme temperatures.
