We will analyse mortality from influenza and other causes to estimate the numbers of deaths from other causes that are triggered by influenza in elderly persons, and to test the value of vaccination in preventing those deaths. Our results will help to decide whether an expensive clinical trial is really needed to show the benefit of influenza vaccination on all-cause mortality in the elderly.

我们会分析流感及其他原因引致的死亡率，以估计长者因流感引致的其他原因而死亡的人数，并测试注射疫苗对预防这些死亡的价值。我们的研究结果将有助于决定是否真的需要进行昂贵的临床试验，以显示流感疫苗接种对老年人全因死亡率的益处。
