The primary outcome for which this RCT was powered was time to clinical stability rather than mortality, and there were only 24 people in total with laboratoryconfirmed influenza. New citation required but conclusions have not changed. Gu L, #27 'clinical study'/de Clinical and prognostic features of patients with pandemic 2009 influenza a (H1N1) virus in the intensive care unit. The majority of studies investigated adults admitted to hospital with pandemic influenza in 2009 and 2010. Volkow P, Data specific to mortality were of very low quality, based predominantly on observational studies, with inconsistent reporting of variables potentially associated with the outcomes of interest, differences between studies in the way in which they were conducted, and with the likelihood of potential confounding by indication.

GutierrezPizarraya A, #21 #19 OR #20 Suarez D, Worldwide clinical data from the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic in 2009 revealed that more than onefifth of hospitalised individuals experienced severe disease requiring admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) (Jain 2009; Muthuri 2013; Richard 2012). Yu HT, We amended the Types of studies to state: "We excluded studies with casecontrol designs due to the inability to determine temporal effects of corticosteroids on the development of nonmortality outcomes. et al. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a frequent complication of critically ill H1N1 patients: a retrospective study. aStratification by 30day mortality was not possible due to heterogeneity between studies in reporting the timing of mortality after hospital admission. In this study outcomes were stratified according to different corticosteroid regimens (high dose and lowtomoderate dose). The populationbased incidence estimate for influenzaassociated critical illness in the USA is 12 per 100,000 personyears; this represents 1.3% of all critical illness hospitalisations, or 3.4% of critical illness hospitalisations during the influenza season (Ortiz 2014).

Leon Moya C, #7 corticosteroid*:ab,ti If a flow chart was not available, we looked for information in the text of the results to determine whether all participants included in the study had been analysed. Viboud CG, et al. The influence of corticosteroid treatment on the outcome of influenza A (H1N1pdm09)related critical illness. It is used to treat a number of different conditions, such as inflammation (swelling), severe allergies, adrenal problems, arthritis, asthma, blood or bone marrow problems, endocrine problems, eye or vision problems, stomach or bowel problems, lupus, skin conditions, kidney problems, ulcerative colitis, and flare-ups of multiple sclerosis. Adjusted estimates also presented for 60day mortality. Barberio P, Future observational studies investigating corticosteroids for the treatment of influenza should state the precise rationale for the administration of corticosteroid therapy in study participants (such as treatment of complications of influenza, comorbid illness, or use solely as adjunctive therapy). Macrolidebased regimens in absence of bacterial coinfection in critically ill H1N1 patients with primary viral pneumonia. Opal SM, Rhodes A, Twentyone studies were included in the metaanalysis (9536 individuals), of which 15 studied people infected with 2009 influenza A H1N1 virus (H1N1pdm09). Yan XX, Zarychanski R, ARDS: adult respiratory distress syndrome Zhang C, Other recent metaanalyses have also noted an association between adjuvant corticosteroid therapy and decreased mortality in a subset of people with severe communityacquired pneumonia, as well as decreased length of hospital stay and decreased time to clinical stability (Bi 2016 (8 RCTs; n = 528); Horita 2015 (10 RCTs; n = 1780); Marti 2015 (14 RCTs; n = 2077); and Wu 2018 (10 RCTs; n = 729)). Annane D, et al. Peterson J, The pooled analysis of mortality showed high statistical heterogeneity, most likely due to the inclusion of unadjusted estimates of mortality. #35 ('case control' NEXT/1 (study OR studies)):ab,ti JLB undertook consultancy work for the UK Food Standards Agency in 20132015, and for a Breast Milk Substitute manufacturer in 2017, to help them design a healthcare claim trial.

PVS: persistent viral shedding We judged the randomisation method, allocation of concealment, and blinding to be adequate and at low risk of bias in the one included RCT (Wirz 2016). Comparisons between patients with mild and severe pandemic influenza have revealed significantly higher levels of cytokines (especially interleukin6) in the plasma of patients with severe disease (Yu 2011b), and similar findings have been replicated in studies of severe seasonal influenza (Heltzer 2009). PaO2/FiO2: ratio of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood to inspired fraction of oxygen Welch V, Du B, Varpula T, et al. Agoritsas T, We analysed data on an intentiontotreat basis. In contrast, an individual patient level metaanalysis of over 29,000 patients with 2009 influenza A H1N1 virus (H1N1pdm09) infection from 78 observational studies across the world found that NI treatment at any time, in comparison to no treatment, was associated with a 19% reduction in mortality risk; early treatment (within two days of symptom onset) was associated with a 52% reduction in mortality risk in comparison to late treatment (Muthuri 2013). The remaining study found no association 30 days after admission (HR 1.81, 95% CI 0.88 to 3.74) (Cao 2016), although corticosteroid use was associated with mortality at 60 days (HR 1.98, 95% CI 1.03 to 3.79). Lee N, Schliephake F, A study of individuals hospitalised with 2009 influenza A H1N1 virus (H1N1pdm09) infection found that corticosteroid therapy was associated with persistent viral shedding (defined as the detection of virus on RTPCR at day 7 after diagnosis on nasopharyngeal swabs) (Giannella 2011). Bellissant E, Hospitalized patients with 2009 H1N1 influenza in the United States, AprilJune 2009. Yang P, The currently available evidence is insufficient to determine the effectiveness of corticosteroids for people with influenza. et al. Clark DV, Duan J, Yang Y, We searched the following electronic databases: the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL 2018, Issue 9, searched 3 October 2018), which contains the Cochrane Acute Respiratory Infections Group's Specialised Register, MEDLINE (1946 to October week 1, 2018), Embase (1980 to 3 October 2018), CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) (1981 to 3 October 2018), LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Science Information database) (1982 to 3 October 2018), and Web of Science (1985 to 3 October 2018). CI: confidence interval The other review authors shared the duplicate data extraction of all included studies. MartinLoeches I, Bordogna AC, characteristics of study (design, setting, country, enrolment period, methodological details including 'Risk of bias' criteria for RCTs and the NewcastleOttawa Scale for nonrandomised trials and comparative observational studies); characteristics of participants (inclusion and exclusion criteria, demographics, comorbid illnesses, disease severity, numbers in each group); characteristics of intervention (type of steroid, route of administration, dose, timing of corticosteroid use (early versus late), and duration of treatment, cointerventions administered); adequacy of the method for generating the randomisation sequence; adequacy of the method for allocation concealment; blinding of participants, clinicians, and outcome assessors with regard to the intervention given; incomplete outcome data (participants lost to followup in each treatment group and reasons for losses reported); analysis of participants in the groups to which they were originally randomised (intentiontotreat principle); selective outcome reporting (all primary outcomes listed in the study protocol that are relevant to this review were reported); daily corticosteroid dose (low versus high; in adults low dose is defined as hydrocortisone 300 mg, dexamethasone 12 mg, prednisolone 75 mg, methylprednisolone 60 mg) (, timing of corticosteroid use (early versus late; early defined as < 4 days of onset of symptoms and late 4 days) (, duration of corticosteroid course (short versus long course; short course defined as < 5 days and long course 5 days) (. We then repeated the MEDLINE search, replacing the randomised trial filter with the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) filter to identify observational studies (SIGN 2011). Increased odds of hospitalacquired infection related to corticosteroid therapy were found on pooled analysis of seven studies (pooled OR 2.74, 95% CI 1.51 to 4.95; I2 = 90%); all were unadjusted estimates, and we graded the data as of very low certainty. DelgadoRodriguez M, Comparison 1 Corticosteroid therapy versus no corticosteroid therapy, Outcome 2 Mortality following admission, hospitalised participants studies reporting hazard ratios. Although there was overlap in the included studies between this review and the other reviews, our review included several studies that were not included in one or both of the other reviews (Balaganesakumar 2013; Boudreault 2011; DelgadoRodriguez 2012; Han 2011; Jain 2009; Kim 2011; Li 2012; Liem 2009; Linko 2011; Mady 2012; Patel 2013; Sertogullarindan 2011; Wu 2012). We searched for studies comparing additional steroid treatment with no additional steroid treatment in individuals with influenza. Yes. Balk RA, We did not use a fixedeffect model to analyse the data because a) there was a clear rationale for choosing the randomeffects model, and b) there was no concern about the influence of smallstudy effects. Estimates from the UK indicate an influenzaattributable annual general practitioner consultation rate of 2156 per 100,000 population and a corresponding annual hospitalisation rate of 34 per 100,000 population (Cromer 2014).

Han K, We could not perform subgroup analyses according to corticosteroid regimens and age of study participants as there was an insufficient number of studies reporting outcomes stratified according to these variables. Lytvyn L, Hospital-acquired infection was the main 'side effect' related to steroid treatment reported in the included studies; most studies reported a greater risk of hospital-acquired infection in the group treated with steroids. et al. One single randomised controlled trial of corticosteroid use versus placebo with subgroup analysis of people with confirmed influenza was not powered for this outcome, and the number of participants in each arm was very small. Lu LJ. Shay DK, Subgroup analysis of unadjusted and adjusted OR estimates of mortality showed a similar association with corticosteroid therapy (OR 4.79, 95% CI 2.35 to 9.79; I2 = 67%; Analysis 1.1.1 and OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.54 to 3.24; Analysis 1.1.2; I2 = 0%, respectively).
