Of the 265 hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed 2009 influenza A (H1N1) during the height of the H1N1 flu pandemic, 13% (35) suffered severe outcomes including a mortality rate of 4.5% (12). Severe outcomes were associated with patients aged 40 years or more, underlying comorbidities, and complicated by pneumonia.
