Re: Canada - ILI consultation rate - weeks 35-41

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.

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.
