Abstract: We analyzed the influenza surveillance data of Children′s Hospital of Suzhou University from 2016 to 2018 and estimated the hospitalization burden of children under 5 years old due to influenza infection in Suzhou. The results showed that the influenza virus positive rate of 1 451 severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) cases in Children′s Hospital of Suzhou University was 13.6% (95%CI :11.8%?15.3%;197 cases), among which the influenza pandemic intensity in 2017?2018 was relatively high, and A/H1N1 was the main pandemic virus. It was estimated that the hospitalization rate of influenza?related SARI in children under 5 years old in Suzhou was 6.9‰ (95%CI : 6.6‰?7.2‰), among which the hospitalization rate of children aged<6 months was higher, up to 11.4‰(95%CI: 9.9‰?12.8‰).
