The aims of this study were to (1) assess the proportion of SARI cases having influenza infection in Egypt; (2) examine the types and subtypes of detected influenza viruses in Egypt; (3) compare demographic and clinical characteristics of influenza-positive SARI cases to those of influenza-negative SARI cases in Egypt; (4) quantify influenza deaths and assess influenza mortality risk factors in Egypt; and (5) establish a defined period of influenza seasonality in Egypt. The odds of death among influenza-positive cases were modeled with logistic regression using different explanatory variables (age group: pediatric <15 years old versus adult 15 years old; sex: male versus female; days from symptom onset to hospitalization: 0-2 versus 3-4 versus 5; chronic conditions: at least one versus none; and influenza type: A versus B).	./cache/cord-251979-j3mme15e.txt	./txt/cord-251979-j3mme15e.txt
