Parkash N, et al. - Researchers used univariate analysis to study disparities between hospital-acquired and community-acquired patient features and outcomes among 292 hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed influenza at the Canberra Hospital from April 2017 to October 2017 via a surveillance-based study. More chances of having influenza A, higher rates of diabetes, malignancy, and chronic liver disease were observed among patients with hospital-acquired influenza. Intra-hospital transmission (rather than random introduction from the community) was reflected by the occurrence of hospital-acquired influenza cases in two distinct clusters. This implies that infection control measures are critical for limiting influenza spread. Earlier diagnostic testing and isolation to limit spread should be encouraged since classical influenza-like features may be absent in cases with hospital-acquired influenza. Spreading of disease within the hospital is likely to be facilitated by movement of patients following diagnosis.
