Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China in
December 2019, considerable attention has been focused on its elucidation. However, it is
also important for clinicians and epidemiologists to differentiate COVID-19 from other
respiratory infectious diseases such as in?uenza viruses.

The aim of this study was to explore the different clinical presentations
between COVID-19 and in?uenza A (H1N1) pneumonia in patients with ARDS.
RESEARCH QUESTION:
22
23
This analysis was a retrospective case-control study. Two independent cohorts of patients with ARDS infected with either COVID-19 (n ¼ 73) or H1N1
(n ¼ 75) were compared. Their clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, treatments,
and prognosis were analyzed and compared.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:

The median age of patients with COVID-19 was higher than that of patients with
H1N1, and there was a higher proportion of male subjects among the COVID-19 cohort (P <
.05). Patients with COVID-19 exhibited higher proportions of nonproductive coughs, fatigue,
and GI symptoms than those of patients with H1N1 (P < .05). Patients with H1N1 had
higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores than patients with COVID-19
(P < .05). The PaO2/FIO2 of 198.2 mm Hg in the COVID-19 cohort was signi?cantly
higher than the PaO2/FIO2 of 107.0 mm Hg in the H1N1 cohort (P < .001). Ground-glass
opacities was more common in patients with COVID-19 than in patients with H1N1 (P <
.001). There was a greater variety of antiviral therapies administered to COVID-19 patients
than to H1N1 patients. The in-hospital mortality of patients with COVID-19 was 28.8%,
whereas that of patients with H1N1 was 34.7% (P ¼ .483). SOFA score-adjusted mortality of
H1N1 patients was signi?cantly higher than that of COVID-19 patients, with a rate ratio of
2.009 (95% CI, 1.563-2.583; P < .001).

There were many differences in clinical presentations between patients
with ARDS infected with either COVID-19 or H1N1. Compared with H1N1 patients, patients with COVID-19-induced ARDS had lower severity of illness scores at presentation and
lower SOFA score-adjusted mortality.

Since December 2019, there has been a cluster of
patients with pneumonia of previously unknown
cause in Wuhan, China. Research by the Chinese
Center for Disease Control and Prevention assessed
the lower respiratory tracts of these patients and
discovered a novel coronavirus, which has since been
named the 2019 novel coronavirus.1 On February 11,
2020, the World Health Organization of?cially named
this novel coronavirus pneumonia as coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19), whereas the International
Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses has named it
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2). Huang et al2 reported that the ?rst 41
patients with COVID-19 exhibited fever, cough,
myalgia, and/or fatigue as common symptoms, 29% of
whom had ARDS and six of whom died (15%). The
typical ?ndings from chest CT scans were bilateral
ground-glass opacity and subsegmental areas of
consolidation. At earlier times during the COVID-19
outbreak, patients with COVID-19 were more likely to
report exposure to food from the Huanan Seafood
Wholesale Market. With the epidemic gradually
growing, it is now clear that human-to-human
transmission has been prevalent.3 As of March 10,
2020, there have been a total of 113,702 con?rmed
cases and 4,012 related deaths, among which 80,924
cases have occurred in China.4
Importantly, when assessing COVID-19, it is
noteworthy that in?uenza viruses share common
etiologies and occur in the same season. Recently, global
in?uenza associated with respiratory mortality is
occurring at a higher frequency than what has been
previously reported.5 From September 2019 through

present-day, there have been > 170,000 patients with
in?uenza in the United States, more than one-half of
whom have been infected with the in?uenza A (H1N1)
virus. The percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia
induced by in?uenza is 6.8%.6 During the H1N1 global
epidemic in 2009, Jain et al7 found that 5% of patients
with H1N1 in?uenza were admitted to ICUs and
7% died. Another study from Canada showed that the
overall mortality among patients critically ill with H1N1
at 28 days was 14.3%.8 The common symptoms of H1N1
infection include fever and productive cough, whereas
GI symptoms (eg, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) are less
common. Furthermore, ground-glass opacities are not
commonly found on chest CT scans from patients with
H1N1.9
Although these two respiroviruses have loomed as
epidemics in different regions at present, such
epidemics can easily propagate to further regions over
time due to climate change and global travel by
individuals. Because of their distinct treatments and
prognoses, it is important for clinicians and
epidemiologists to accurately identify these two
respiroviral infections via their differential clinical
manifestations. The aim of the current study therefore
was to compare the different clinical presentations
between ARDS patients infected with COVID-19
vs those infected with H1N1 to provide some guidance
for their differential diagnoses.

This analysis was a retrospective case-control study. All of the COVID19 subjects were con?rmed by using results of laboratory tests and were
hospitalized at Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital (Hubei Province of China)
between December 24, 2019, and February 7, 2020. The H1N1
pneumonia cases were from a single-center prospective cohort
study10 of patients with H1N1-induced ARDS at Beijing Chao-Yang
Hospital (China). All of the H1N1 cases were con?rmed by using
laboratory test results, and corresponding patients were hospitalized
from March 2016 to December 2019. All of the patients met the
criteria of the Berlin de?nition11 for diagnosis of ARDS. Following
ful?llment of these criteria, all of the patients with COVID-19induced or H1N1-induced ARDS were included in this study.
Demographic and clinical data of the patients were entered into an
electronic case report form. The data included the following:
demographic characteristics (age and sex), underlying diseases,
comorbidities, clinical symptoms (fever, cough, sputum, dyspnea,
chest pain, rash, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and
headache), signs (body temperature, heart rate, respiratory frequency,
and BP), laboratory tests (blood routine test, arterial blood gas
analysis, and blood chemistry), and microbiologic ?ndings/images of
the lung (chest CT scan). Antimicrobiologic therapy, respiratory
support, complications, and outcomes were also recorded.
Data analysis was performed by using SPSS 23.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics,
IBM Corporation) software. Categorical variables were summarized by
using frequencies and percentages, and continuous data are presented
as the medians (interquartile ranges). The Mann-Whitney U test was
used for continuous variables, and the c2 test or the Fisher exact test
was used for categorical variables. Variables with a P value < .05 in
the univariate analysis were entered into multivariate logistic
regression analysis to identify independent risk factors associated
with COVID-19 or H1N1. All P values < .05 are considered
statistically signi?cant.

The Ethics Committee of Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital (2017-KE61) and Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital (wufeilunli-2020-02)
approved the collection of clinical data from the included
patients with H1N1 or COVID-19 infections, respectively. For
the H1N1 cohort, written informed consent was obtained from
all of the patients or their legal guardians. For the COVID-19
cohort, informed consent from each patient was waived
because we prospectively collected and analyzed all of the data
from each patient according to the policy for public health
outbreak investigation of emerging infectious diseases issued by
the National Health Commission of the Peoples Republic of
China.
Results

From December 24, 2019, to February 7, 2020, there
were a total of 179 patients infected with COVID-19
admitted to the Department of Pulmonary and Critical
Care at Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital in Hubei Province
of China, among which 73 cases included ARDS. There
were 345 patients with ARDS induced by pneumonia of
various etiologies admitted to the respiratory ICU at
Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital from March 2016 to
December 2019, among whom 75 patients were infected
with H1N1.

COVID-19 and H1N1 Patient Characteristics
261
The median age of patients with COVID-19 was 67
years, which was signi?cantly higher than that of
patients with H1N1 (52 years; P < .001). The proportion
of male subjects in the COVID-19 group was 61.5%,
which was signi?cantly lower than that of the H1N1
group (80.0%; P ¼ .011). In terms of underlying
diseases, 31.5% of COVID-19 patients has a history of
cardiovascular disease, whereas that of H1N1 patients
was signi?cantly lower (10.7%; P ¼ .002). There was no
signi?cant difference in the history of hypertension,
diabetes, or chronic airway diseases between the two
groups. At the time of admission, septic shock had
occurred in 31.5% of patients with COVID-19, which
was greater than that reported in patients with H1N1

The median PaO2/FIO2 in patients with COVID-19 was
198.2 mm Hg, which was signi?cantly higher than the
107.0 mm Hg of patients with H1N1 (P < .001).
Following biochemical testing, aspartate transaminase,
lactate dehydrogenase, and troponin I levels in patients
with COVID-19 were all signi?cantly lower than those
