New co-authored paper: Age-specific mortality patterns across influenza pandemics
Key messages of this paper:
- This research aimed to understand the impact of age on mortality risk across four influenza pandemics in multiple populations.
- We found that the absolute and percentage mortality patterns emphasized different aspects of age-specific risk across pandemics, illustrating that the metric choice influences how age patterns are interpreted.
- By comparing mortality data across multiple populations, this research challenges prior assumptions based on US-centric data and highlights the heterogeneity of age-specific risk across pandemics.
