This research aims to assess the risk of hospitalization and mortality associated with novel influenza viruses in adults.
Conducted a population-based cohort study using deidentified public data.
Included adults admitted to ICU with a principal diagnosis of influenza from 2016 to 2024.
Excluded certain hospitalizations for specific criteria.
Analyzed data with overlap propensity score weighting, using ICD-10-CM codes.
Out of 15,301 hospitalizations, 5% were due to novel influenza A virus.
Short-term mortality rates were similar across groups, at approximately 3.8% for novel and unidentified types, and 4.4% for identified types.
Adjusted analyses found no significant association between virus classification and short-term mortality.
