What is the impact of influenza on health-related quality of life in China?
Influenza causes substantial health-related quality of life loss, providing key inputs for disease burden estimates and cost-effectiveness evaluations of influenza-related interventions in China.

Substantial influenza-related HRQoL loss in Chinese children supports inclusion in burden estimates; leaves open prospective confirmation before informing interventions.
Influenza illness had a substantial impact on HRQoL. QALD loss due to an acute influenza episode in younger children was comparable to that due to enterovirus A71-associated hand, foot and mouth disease. Our findings are key inputs into disease burden estimates and cost-effectiveness evaluations of influenza-related interventions in China.
