Excerpt
This Statistical Brief presents data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) on emergency department (ED) visits and hospital inpatient stays for seasonal and 2009 H1N1 influenza during 2008?2009. Characteristics of ED visits and hospitalizations for influenza in 2008, a typical epidemic year, are compared to visits in 2009, the year the 2009 H1N1 pandemic began. Influenza hospitalization rates are also depicted from 2005?2010. Age, patient residence, and utilization characteristics are explored, as well as the most common comorbid conditions and principal procedures associated with a diagnosis of influenza in hospital stays. All differences between estimates noted in the text are statistically significant at the 0.001 level or better.
