New publication: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis of long influenza following the last five influenza pandemics

  • This forthcoming systematic review and meta-analysis will draw on comprehensive bibliographic databases to identify evidence on prolonged health consequences following the last five influenza pandemics.
  • The review will consider multiple exposure pathways including influenza infection and other pandemic-related exposures.
  • The language restriction may result in an important loss of evidence, particularly for earlier pandemics.
  • Heterogeneous evidence from earlier pandemics may limit the comparability across the influenza pandemics studied.
