Building influenza surveillance pyramids in near real time, australia.
Dalton CB, Carlson SJ, Butler MT, Elvidge E, Durrheim DN.
Abstract
A timely measure of circulating influenza virus severity has been elusive. Flutracking, the Australian online influenza-like illness surveillance system, was used to construct a surveillance pyramid in near real time for 2011/2012 participants and demonstrated a striking difference between years. Such pyramids will facilitate rapid estimation of attack rates and disease severity.
