Background: The estimation of influenza-associated excess mortality in developing countries can help improve the estimate of global mortality burden attributable to influenza virus infections. The present study estimates the influenza-associated excess respiratory mortality in mainland China for the 2010/11 through 2014/15 seasons. Methods: We collected the provincial weekly influenza surveillance data and population mortality data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention for the analysis. The influenza-associated in the country were estimated using the linear regression models. Extrapolation of EMRs was performed using random-effect meta-regression models for provinces without valid data for a direct estimation of EMR. Findings: It was estimated that an annual average of 88,100 (95% confidence interval (CI): 84,200, 92,000) influenza-associated excess respiratory deaths occurred in China in the five years studied, corresponding to 8·2% (95% CI: 7·9%, 8·6%) of respiratory deaths. The mean EMRs per season for influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2), and B viruses were 1·6 (95% CI: 1·5, 1·7), 2·6 (95% CI: 2·4, 2·8), and 2·3 (95% CI: 2·1, 2·5) per 100,000 person-seasons, respectively. The estimated EMR was 1·5 (95% CI: 1.1, 1·9) for people <60 years of age, which was substantially smaller than the rate of 38·5 (95% CI: 36·8, 40·2) per 100,000 person-seasons for those ≥60 years of age. Approximately 80% of influenza-associated excess respiratory deaths occurred in people aged ≥60 years of age. estimates of which varied across whereas comparable to what has been previously Continuous and high-quality surveillance data across the whole country are needed to improve the estimation of the disease burden attributable to influenza in China.
