We estimated all-cause and influenza-attributable mortality in 19 European countries/regions. Excess mortality was primarily explained by circulation of influenza virus A(H3N2). Cold weather snaps contributed in some countries. The pattern was similar to the last major influenza A(H3N2) season in 2014/15 in Europe, although starting earlier in line with the early influenza season start.enArchived with thanks to Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletinAdolescentAdultAgedCause of DeathChildChild, PreschoolEuropeFemaleHumansInfantInfant, NewbornInfluenza, HumanMaleMiddle AgedMortalityPublic HealthSeasonsSentinel SurveillanceYoung AdultArticleEuro Surveill 2017; 22(14): pii.30506
