BACKGROUND: COVID-19 pandemics have greatly impacted the epidemiology of seasonal influenza, presenting a challenge for postpandemic prediction and prevention and control of influenza. This study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of future influenza patterns.
METHODS: We collected data from eight regions around the world. Using SVIRS model, we identified a clear change during and after the COVID-19 era. Linear regression modelling showed the relationship between influenza, COVID-19 and PHSMs. Finally, we conducted a simulation to assess the impact of implementing simple PHSMs at the end of the COVID-19 outbreak.
RESULTS: In all regions except Tokyo, there were off-season influenza outbreaks. The levels of influenza outbreaks were found to be higher than simulated. In California, the peak was 8.5 times higher than the simulated value (95% CI: 1.00, 8.65). In every region, the peaks of influenza outbreaks closely followed those of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of linear regression indicated that the influenza outbreaks were significantly correlated with that of COVID-19 and existing seasonality (P-value < 0.05). Finally, we conducted a simulation to assess the impact of implementing PHSMs at the end of the COVID-19 outbreak. Reducing the reproduction number of influenza to 95% of its original value could result in a 50% decrease in the peak.
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on influenza, raises the possibility of incorporating the observed trends in the incidence of COVID-19 into influenza prediction models, and suggests the implementation of collaborative surveillance to mitigate the risk of influenza outbreaks.
