-------UK weekly deaths this year and average last years-----------
weekly preliminary US-deaths in 122 cities in MMWR at CDC-wonder is being discontinued since week 40/2016. CDC in its weekly flu updates still has the data, although
not by age-group, so no elderly-ratio. They have much more deaths now and the last weeks have much fewer deaths
Pneumonia and Influenza (P&I) Mortality Surveillance: Based on National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) mortality surveillance data available on November 30, 2016, 5.2% of the deaths
occurring during the week ending November 12, 2016 (week 45) were due to P&I. This percentage
is below the epidemic threshold of 6.9% for week 45.
Weekly mortality surveillance data includes a combination of machine coded and manually coded
causes of death collected from death certificates. A backlog of data requiring manual coding
continues to exist within NCHS mortality surveillance data. The percentages of deaths due to P&I
are higher among manually coded records than more rapidly available machine coded records and
may result in initially reported P&I percentages that are lower than percentages calculated from final
data. Efforts continue to reduce and monitor the number of records awaiting manual coding. During
week 47, it was determined that data from the summer months were sufficient to allow re-
calculation of seasonal baseline and epidemic threshold values. Those modified values are used in
the current report and will be used going forward.
Beginning in the week ending October 8, 2016 (week 40), CDC retired the 122 Cities Mortality
Reporting System and uses only the NCHS Mortality Surveillance System.
