Di Chiara C. The Lancet Regional Health – Americas 2026;:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lana.2026.101525.
[Study of 10,091 pediatric influenza hospitalizations in Canada found sharp declines during early pandemic years, followed by a near doubling in 2022–23. Patients were slightly older, and severity rose from 2021–22 but remained below pre-pandemic levels. Patterns suggest a partial return to pre-pandemic influenza trends after COVID-19 disruptions.]
