For example, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), an estimated 25,100 people in Germany died due to influenza during the 2017/2018 flu season, but only 1674 influenza-associated deaths were officially reported [3] . Applying our observed in-hospital mortality of 6.7% to the 60,000 hospitalized patients with a laboratoryconfirmed influenza infection reported to the RKI would correspond to approximately 4000 deceased hospitalized patients during the 2017/2018 flu season in Germany. This proportion was lower than that in our study, in which influenza infection was considered to be the immediate cause of death in 82.8% of the deceased patients.
