ABSTRACT Background and Aims The COVID‐19 pandemic has profoundly impacted the transmission dynamics epidemiology of respiratory pathogens, primarily due to non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). This study aims evaluate effects NPIs on characteristics winter pathogens. Methods involved collection pathogen test results from all patients tested at our hospital during two distinct periods: September 2021 May 2022 2023. comparison positive rates was performed using χ 2 test. A p ‐value less than 0.05 indicates no statistical significance. Data analysis SPSS version 22.0. Results predominant 2021/2022 flu seasons identified as Inf B (1095/9309, 11.76%). Conversely, 2022/2023 seasons, emerged most prevalent (4040/18,770, 21.52%). Notably, parainfluenza virus M. pneumoniae were lower in while rate L. pneumophila higher. Furthermore, number SARS‐CoV‐2 cases increased nearly fivefold compared seasons. Conclusions findings this suggest that relaxation a notable influence certain pathogens within population. We propose implementation ongoing surveillance monitor evolutionary various particularly situations where are longer necessary.

Introduction This systematic review and meta-analysis investigate the relationship between PM 2.5 exposure increased influenza risk (e.g., hospital admissions, confirmed cases), synthesizing previous findings related to pollutant effects durations. Methods We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus for relevant studies up 1 January 2010, following Preferred Reporting Items Systematic reviews Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines selection analysis. Results Our included 16 found that a 10 μg/m 3 increase in daily levels was associated with an 1.5% rise (95% CI: 0.08%, 2.2%), significant variations across different temperatures lag times post-exposure. The analysis revealed heightened risks, most increases observed under extreme temperature conditions. Specifically, colder conditions were 14.2% (RR = 14.2%, 95% 3.5%, 24.9%), while warmer showed highest increase, 29.4% 29.4%, 7.8%, 50.9%). Additionally, adults aged 18–64 notably affected 4%, 2.9%, 5.1%). Discussion These results highlight 's potential impair immune responses, increasing flu susceptibility. Despite clear evidence impact on risk, gaps remain concerning timing climate effects. Future research should broaden diverse regions populations deepen understanding inform public health strategies.

Background Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic altered influenza transmission patterns, yet age-specific effects of air pollutants on dynamics remain unclear. Methods Utilizing surveillance data Jiangsu Province from 2020 to 2024, we integrated generalized additive quasi-Poisson regression model and distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) quantify lagged exposure-response relationships between (NO 2 , SO PM 2.5 ) risk across young, middle-aged, older adult groups. Meteorological factors, including temperature humidity, as well implementation stages NPIs, were controlled in isolate impact transmission. Results The NO both showed significant positive all age effect is most young group (RR = 5.02, 95% CI: 4.69–5.37), while exhibited pronounced middle-aged groups 4.22, 3.36–5.30; RR 8.31, 5.77–11.96, respectively). elevated risks 1.99, 1.87–2.12) 1.45, 1.07–1.94) Interactions meteorological factors (temperature, humidity) statistically insignificant. Conclusions Air pollutant impacts are age-dependent: dominates younger populations, whereas disproportionately affects adults. These findings highlight age-related vulnerability pollution need for targeted public health strategies different population subgroups.

Changsha, a city of 10 million people in China, has complex patterns influenza activities. There is limited evidence on how temperature influences activity across different populations subtropical region. We collected surveillance data from all medical facilities Changsha City 2017 to 2023. The effects various indicators, including daily frequency influenza, influenza-like illness (ILI) rate, A (FluA) and B (FluB) were assessed using the distributed lag nonlinear model. This study revealed exhibited most significant impact activity. low (below 10°C) increased effect while high (above 25°C) primarily enhanced FluA ILI rates. aged 6-17 years was significantly stronger than other groups. research results could provide reference for prediction early warning.
