The influenza patients were mostly elderly, and few patients were treated in ICU. A high CRB score was associated with severe outcomes with possible implications for patient monitoring. Less than 40% of the patients received antiviral therapy, whereas the majority were treated with antibiotics, indicating potential for optimising treatment strategies.
