We applied previously developed methodology to estimate the contribution of influenza and Omicron infections to all-cause mortality in France for the 2014\u20132015 through the 2018\u20132019 influenza seasons, and the period between week 33, 2022 and week 12, 2023. For the 2014\u20132015 through the 2018\u20132019 seasons, influenza was associated with annual average of 15,654 (95% CI (13,013, 18,340)) deaths, while between week 33, 2022 and week 12, 2023, we estimated 7,851 (5,213, 10,463) influenza-associated deaths and 32,607 (20,794, 44,496) SARS-CoV-2 associated deaths. For many Omicron-associated deaths for cardiac disease, mental&amp;behavioural disorders, and other causes, Omicron infections are not characterised as a contributing cause of death \u2013 for example, between weeks 33\u201352 in 2022, we estimated 23,983 (15,307, 32,620) SARS-CoV-2-associated deaths in France, compared with 12,811 deaths with COVID-19 listed on death certificate. Our results suggest the need for boosting influenza vaccination coverage in different population groups in France, and for wider detection of influenza infections in respiratory illness episodes (including pneumonia) in combination with the use of antiviral medications. For Omicron epidemics, wider detection of Omicron infections in persons with underlying health conditions is needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268823001358","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,25]],"date-time":"2023-08-25T09:13:14Z","timestamp":1692954794000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Mortality associated with Omicron and influenza infections in France before and during the COVID-19 pandemic"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"151","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6795-0559","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edward","family":"Goldstein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0950268823001358_r23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.epidem.2015.04.003"},{"key":"S0950268823001358_r40","unstructured":"[40] Sant\u00e9 publique France (2023) Bulletin \u00e9pid\u00e9miologique grippe, semaine 15.
