背景。流感会导致严重的发病率和死亡率，并带来相当大的经济成本，包括工作生产力的损失。流感疫苗可以通过流感初级预防和减轻疾病严重程度来减轻经济负担。方法。我们检查了患有急性呼吸道疾病的职业成年人的疾病严重程度和工作效率损失，并比较了患有和未患有实验室确诊流感的受试者的结果，以及 2012-2013 年流感季节期间患有流感的受试者的流感疫苗接种情况。结果。根据多项措施，包括研究入组时当前的健康状况，实验室确认为流感的疾病（即病例）被主观评估为比非流感引起的疾病（即非病例）更严重。
Background. Influenza causes significant morbidity and mortality, with considerable economic costs, including lost work productivity. Influenza vaccines may reduce the economic burden through primary prevention of influenza and reduction in illness severity.Methods. We examined illness severity and work productivity loss among working adults with medically attended acute respiratory illnesses and compared outcomes for subjects with and without laboratory-confirmed influenza and by influenza vaccination status among subjects with influenza during the 2012-2013 influenza season.Results. Illnesses laboratory-confirmed as influenza (ie, cases) were subjectively assessed as more severe than illnesses not caused by influenza (ie, noncases) based on multiple measures, including current health status at study enrollment (
