1970年第二季度英格兰和威尔士在一次重大流感流行后的早期新生儿死亡率略高于前一年同期，但明显高于前一年同期。1970年第一季亦录得升幅。对过去25年婴儿死亡率和流感流行指数的分析表明，在此期间，其他五种主要流感疫情中的四种都出现了类似的上升，1957年秋季的“亚洲流感”疫情除外。有人认为，1970年死亡率的上升是早产率上升的结果，但我们没有证据表明这种影响是特定的病毒造成的，还是性质上的非特异性。
Early neonatal mortality in England and Wales in the second quarter of 1970 after a major influenza epidemic was slightly but significantly higher than in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. An increase was also noted in the first quarter of 1970. Analysis of infant mortality and an index of influenza prevalence over the past quarter-century indicates that similar increases occurred in relation to four of the other five major influenza epidemics during the period, the exception being the “Asian 'flu” epidemic of the autumn of 1957. It is suggested that the increased mortality in 1970 was the consequence of an increase in the prematurity rate, but we have no evidence to indicate whether the effect is specifically due to the virus or is nonspecific in nature.
