We tested the hypothesis that use of mechanical ventilator support in children hospitalized with influenza during the 2009 H1N1 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic (pH1N1) was higher than would be expected in children hospitalized for seasonal influenza after adjusting for patient risk. Retrospective cohort study. 43 U.S. pediatric hospitals. Children <18 years old with a discharge diagnosis of influenza admitted July 2006 through March 2009 (seasonal influenza) and June through December 2009 (pH1N1). None. We included 10,173 children hospitalized with seasonal influenza and 9,837 with presumed pH1N1. The pH1N1 cohort was older (median 5.0 vs. 1.9 years), more likely to have asthma (30% vs. 18%), and less likely to receive mechanical ventilation (7.1% [n=701]) versus 9.2% [n=940]). Using logistic regression, we created a multivariable model of risk factors associated with endotracheal mechanical ventilator support in the seasonal influenza cohort and used this model to predict the number of expected mechanical ventilation cases in children with presumed pH1N1. Adjusted for underlying health conditions, race, age and a co-diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia, the observed/expected rate of mechanical ventilation in the presumed pH1N1 cohort was 0.74 (95% CI 0.68–0.79). Early hospital treatment with influenza antiviral medications was associated with decreased initiation of mechanical ventilation on hospital day ≥3 in the seasonal influenza (OR 0.66; 95% CI, 0.45–0.97) and pH1N1 (OR 0.23; 95% CI, 0.16–0.34) periods; influenza antiviral use in the pH1N1 period was much higher (70% versus 19%, P<0.001). Although the number of children with a hospital discharge diagnosis of influenza almost tripled during the 2009 pandemic H1N1 period, the risk-adjusted proportion of children receiving mechanical ventilation was lower than we would have predicted in a seasonal influenza cohort. Early hospital use of influenza antiviral medications was associated with a decrease in late-onset mechanical ventilation.
