This study provided updated and new Canadian estimates for hospitalizations attributable to influenza, RSV, EV, HMPV, and HPIV for 2010/2011 to 2018/2019 surveillance seasons. These estimates are important given the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the ongoing circulation of seasonal respiratory viruses. Routine burden estimation is pivotal in supporting the implementation and evaluation of public health programs focused at mitigating the impacts of respiratory viruses. Although multiple external factors are at play, this study indicates that influenza and RSV attributable hospitalizations were persisting and generally increasing in Canada in recent years preceding the COVID-19 pandemic
