    ILI consultation rate

    This week, the national ILI consultation rate was 36 consultations per 1,000 patient visits (see ILI graph) which is slightly higher compared to the previous weeks and above the expected range for this time of the year. The sentinel response rate was 89.3%. Five provinces (SK, ON, NL, YK and NT) had higher ILI consultation rates compared to their ILI rates in previous weeks. The ILI rates of these five provinces were also higher than the national level this week. People under 20 years of age had the highest consultations rates with 65.2 and 67.6 per 1,000 patient visits among children under 4 years of age and between 5 and 19 years of age, respectively.

      This week, the national ILI consultation rate was 48 consultations per 1,000 patient visits (see ILI graph) which is higher compared to the previous weeks and still above the expected range for this time of the year. Four provinces (AB, SK, ON and NT) had higher ILI consultation rates compared to their ILI rates in previous weeks. The ILI rates of these four provinces were also higher than the national level this week. People under 20 years of age had the highest consultations rates with 98.3 and 88.9 per 1,000 patient visits among children under 4 years of age and among those 5 and 19 years of age, respectively.

        Data suggests H1N1 infections are starting to pick up across Canada, as the second wave has been reported to be just arriving. We seem to be about four weeks behind much of the U.S.

        I have heard experts suggest we will be near the peak over the next few weeks, but if you look at the ILI graph for 1996-2008, it is clear that peak illness over the past 12 years in Canada has been from mid December till the end of March. It looks like we have a ways to go, yet.

              ILI consultation rate
              This week, the national ILI consultation rate was 99 consultations per 1,000 patient visits (see ILI graph) which was lower compared to the previous week. This is likely due to the fact that many P/T have established special clinics for assessing patients with ILI. Five provinces and territories (SK, NB, NS, NL and YK) had higher ILI consultation rates compared to their ILI rates in previous weeks. People under 20 years of age had the highest consultations rates, with 153 and 226 per 1,000 patient visits among children under 5 years of age and among those 5 and 19 years of age, respectively.

                ILI consultation rate

                This week, the national ILI consultation rate was 91 consultations per 1,000 patient visits (see ILI graph) which was lower for a second consecutive week. This is likely due to the fact that many P/T have established special clinics for assessing patients with ILI. Six provinces and territories (BC, SK, MB, ON, NB and NL) had higher ILI consultation rates compared to their ILI rates in previous weeks. People under 20 years of age still had the highest consultation rates, with 173 and 208 per 1,000 patient visits among children under 5 years of age and among those 5 and 19 years of age, respectively.
