Flu Hospitalizations in Nursing Homes Reduced by Quick, Widespread Preventive Antiviral Treatment
A JAMA Internal Medicine study of 404 influenza outbreaks in U.S. nursing homes found that administering the antiviral oseltamivir to at least 70% of residents within two days sharply reduced 14‑day hospitalizations. The retrospective cohort covered over 35,000 resident observations from 2018‑2022 and showed a clear benefit for rapid, widespread prophylaxis, though mortality rates remained unchanged. Researchers urge clinicians to adopt intensive chemoprophylaxis promptly during outbreaks, including treating residents in unaffected units. The findings could reshape best‑practice guidelines for flu management in long‑term care facilities.
