Background. Neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) are the only effective therapy for influenza, but few studies have assessed the impact of early NAI therapy on clinical outcomes or the patient-level factors that determine early NAI delivery in hospitalized patients.Methods. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all adults hospitalized in a metropolitan tertiary care hospital with confirmed influenza from April 2009 to March 2014. We performed logistic regression to determine patient-level factors that were associated with early NAI therapy. We analyzed the association of early NAI therapy with hospital lengths of stay (LOS) and in-hospital mortality rates using linear and logistic regression, respectively.Results. In total, 699 patients were admitted with influenza during the 5 influenza seasons. Of those, 582 (83.4%) received NAI therapy; however, only 26.0% received the first dose within 6 hours of hospitalization (early NAI). Patients with diabetes mellitus or pregnancy were more likely to receive early NAI (P =.01, vs. P
