Severity of Influenza-Like Illness and/or Pneumonia in the Community

  • The rate of ILI and/or pneumonia-related hospitalizations per 100 inpatient beds decreased by 17% compared to the weighted moving average from the previous three weeks.
  • All age groups experienced a decreased rate of ILI and/or pneumonia-related hospitalizations per 100 inpatient beds compared to the weighted moving averaged from the previous three weeks.
  • The largest decreases occurred in the 0-18 and 19-24 year old age groups (-36% and -60%, respectively).
  • 29% of reporting hospitals stated that the number of ILI-related hospitalizations is currently ?slightly elevated? or ?elevated? compared to previous years. This is compared to 53% during the previous reporting week.
  • 6% of hospitals (1/18) with ?slightly elevated? or ?elevated? burdens of ILI-related hospitalizations are reporting that they are having increased difficulty (4 or 5) with managing this patient population.
  • Eight confirmed influenza-related deaths were reported during Week 46 (total of 35 since June 1, 2009).
    [*]All eight were confirmed 2009 H1N1 deaths (total of 33 since June 1, 2009).

The math isn't making sense to me. In Week 45, Indiana reported a total of 30 deaths since June 1, 2009. Now they report 8 more in week 46, for a total of 35. There is a discrepancy of 3, and based on prior reported, I think it should be 38.

Re: Indiana reports 8 deaths in Week 46

The death in Elkhart County (reported on Monday) came as a bit of surprise to me since there really has been no mention of flu lately regarding numbers of infected or busy hospitals, etc.

I haven't heard any of that severe coughing I was hearing in public last month.

I guess this serves as a reminder that even if we think the worst is past, flu still claims its victims.

Our local paper had a short article in big headlines; but nothing new.

Re: Indiana reports 8 deaths in Week 46

INDIANAPOLIS -- There have been a total of 33 confirmed deaths in Indiana from the H1N1 flu, state health officials said.

In a conference call on Wednesday, State Health Commissioner Judy Monroe said of the state's 35 flu deaths, 33 have been from complications related to H1N1, 6News' Stacia Matthews reported.

She said of the hundreds of Hoosiers who have tested positive for H1N1, 47 percent have been college-age individuals.

Because Indiana has received 1.22 million more doses of the H1N1 vaccine -- or enough to inoculate about 20 percent of the high-priority group -- health officials said they will begin to allocate more to universities.

The overall number of Indiana residents hospitalized with flu symptoms fell 17 percent last week, health officials said.

Monroe says Indiana's second wave of swine flu cases peaked in late October, likely coinciding when college students returning to the state's campuses for fall classes.
