The 2009 H1N1 pandemic highlighted the need to routinely monitor severe influenza, which lead establishment of sentinel hospital-based surveillance acute respiratory infections (SARI) in several countries Europe. objective this study is describe characteristics SARI patients and explore risk factors for a outcome influenza-positive patients.Data on hospitalised meeting syndromic case definition between 2012 from nine Eastern Europe (Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,...
Abstract Background Since 2011, the Global Influenza Hospital Surveillance Network (GIHSN) has used active surveillance to prospectively collect epidemiological and virological data on patients hospitalized with influenza virus infection. Here, we describe strain circulation in GIHSN participant countries during 2017–2018 season examine factors associated complicated hospitalization among admitted laboratory-confirmed illness. Methods The study enrolled who were a hospital previous 48 h...
The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on influenza activity worldwide. However, as the progressed, resumed. Here, we describe epidemic of high intensity 2022–2023 season. an early start and peaked in week 51.2022. extremely may have been due to significant decrease herd immunity. results PCR-testing 220,067 clinical samples revealed that A(H1N1)pdm09 virus dominated, causing 56.4% positive cases, while A(H3N2) subtype accounted for only 0.6%, B Victoria lineage—for 34.3%. vaccine was...

Background The effectiveness of currently licensed vaccines against influenza has not been clearly established, especially among individuals at increased risk for complications from influenza. We used a test-negative approach to estimate vaccine (IVE) hospitalization with laboratory-confirmed based on data collected the Global Influenza Hospital Surveillance Network (GIHSN).

A dramatic increase of influenza activity in Russia since week 3 2016 significantly differs from previous seasons terms the incidence and acute respiratory infection ( ARI ) number lethal cases. We performed antigenic analysis 108 whole‐genome sequencing 77 A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses Moscow Saint Petersburg. Most were antigenically related to vaccine strain. Whole‐genome revealed a composition specific mutations internal genes (D2E M83I NEP , E125D NS 1, M105T NP Q208K M1, N204S PA ‐X) that...
Abstract Background The Global Influenza Hospital Surveillance Network (GIHSN) has since 2012 provided patient-level data on severe influenza-like-illnesses from >100 participating clinical sites worldwide based a core protocol and consistent case definitions. Methods We used multivariable logistic regression to assess the risk of intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation, in-hospital death among hospitalized patients with influenza explored role covariates country income...
Influenza circulation was substantially reduced after March 2020 in the European region and globally due to wide introduction of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) against COVID-19. The virus, however, has been actively circulating natural reservoirs. In summer 2021, NPIs were loosened Russia, influenza activity resumed shortly thereafter. Here, we summarize epidemiological virological data on epidemic Russia 2021-2022 obtained by two National Centers. We demonstrate that commonly used...
The Global Influenza Hospital Surveillance Network is an international platform whose primary objective to study severe cases of influenza requiring hospitalization. During the 2015–2016 season, 11 sites in nine countries (Russian Federation, Czech Republic, Turkey, France, China, Spain, Mexico, India, and Brazil) participated a prospective, active-surveillance, hospital-based epidemiological study. infection was confirmed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. vaccine...
Analysis of changes in the population immunity level adults for more than 20 Russian cities, collaborating with Federal Center Influenza, to circulating influenza viruses A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) and B period from 2009 2015 performed.
