Patients with both COVID-19 and influenza four times more likely to need ventilation support, study suggests

摘要

Patients infected with both COVID-19 and influenza at the same time are more than four times more likely to require ventilation support and more than twice as likely to die, compared with just having COVID-19, research published in the Lancet has suggested (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)00383-X/fulltext) . The study was delivered as part of the International Severe Acute Respiratory and emerging Infection Consortium’s Coronavirus Clinical Characterisation Consortium; the largest study to look at COVID-19 and other endemic respiratory viruses.
