Summary: Background: COVID-19 has worse mortality than influenza in American and European studies, but evidence from the Western Pacific region is scarce. Methods: Using a large-scale multicenter inpatient claims data in Japan, we identified individuals hospitalised with COVID-19 in 2020 or influenza in 2017–2020. We compared patient characteristics, supportive care, and in-hospital mortality, with multivariable logistic regression analyses for in-hospital mortality overall, by age group, and among patients with mechanical ventilation. Findings: We identified 16,790 COVID-19 patients and 27,870 influenza patients, with the different age distribution (peak at 70–89 years in COVID-19 vs. bimodal peaks at 0–9 and 80–89 years in influenza). On admission, the use of mechanical ventilation was similar in both groups (1·4% vs. 1·4%) but higher in the COVID-19 group (3·3% vs. 2·5%; p |
