Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

Question.....
Are these numbers represetative of Current, or Cummulative Hospitalizations????

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

Just found this today.... Onondaga County (which is basically Syracuse, NY and surrounding areas) reporting 21 hospitalizations.

http://www.ongov.net/Health/SwineFlu.html

That would make NY State 730.

*NYC and Syracuse both cumulative #s

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

Question.....

These are cummulative as far as I can discern. For example, Utah reported 90 hospitalizations, but their bar chart showing daily hospitalizations over time suggested many more. Then I realized that the chart showed the number of people hospitalized on any given day and, obviously, people spent more than one day in the hospital. em

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

According to the state health dept. websites, New Jersey, Utah, Virginia, and Washington are reporting only hospitalized cases (UT and WA) or hospitalizations supplemented with limited testing of other groups such as identified clusters (NJ and VA). Many other states appear to be doing the same. Some states seem to have stopped providing data entirely, except what the CDC gets for their weekly report. The silence is deafening. It seems that once Wisconsin topped 3,000 confirmed cases, for example, no additional statewide data were made available. Below are a few updates. I added Vermont since they stated on their website that there were no hospitalizations, but the case count from their site is old.

California - 77
Colorado - 22
Connecticut - 28

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

Latest numbers:

Arizona - 87
California - 99
Colorado - 22
Connecticut - 28
Delaware - 9
Hawaii - 1*
Indiana - 26
Maine - 7
Massachusetts - 99
Minnesota - 111
Montana - 4
New Hampshire - 10
New York - 824**
North Dakota -1
Oklahoma - 4
Oregon - 16
Rhode Island - 23
Utah - 129
Vermont - 0
Washington - 53
West Virginia - 4

Total - 1,557

*Hawaii reported on their website that one out-of-state individual was hospitalized but did not give a total for the state.
*New York hospitalizations are for NYC and Onondaga County only

This total does not include hospitalizations in states representing well over half of the reported cases. On 6/16 the CDC reported 1,621 total hospitalizations through 6/11. My guess is that when we get the number through 6/17, it will be over 3,000. The slope of the line seems to keep increasing.

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

I think we should track hospitalizations for several cities or counties
over time separately. Always give hospitalizations and times.
So we get many regional charts.

Adding them up is problematic because different regions are
included at a given time. We can calculate the expected total number
when we have many regions.

Do we see the same curves for hospitalizations in different regions ?
Are they going down alrady in some regions ?

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

uhh, and that without ILI
have they changed the hospitalization strategy or are
hospitalizations really increasing ?

I'm not sure. This is a link to a chart of ILI from ER visits and hospital admissions. It looks like the 803 number is hospital admissions, but it is difficult to get an accurate count from the chart.

number of hospitalizations in Colorado from newflu

weeks 17-23 : 22,31,9,12,13,18,10
Utah,cumulative:4.June=35,11-June=90,17.June=129



Colorado became the first state to make laboratory-confirmed
influenza-associated hospitalizations a case-based reportable condition in 2004.

2004–05 (n = 978)
2007–08 (n = 1,004)
2005–06 (n = 848)
2006-07 only 367



influenza-associated hospitalizations are a reportable condition in Utah (UDOH)

The new swine flu’s symptoms are similar to those of other flu types. So, the Department of Health says these cases become reportable only when test results confirm the illness is due to the new virus. One exception is an outbreak of influenza-like illness in institutional settings such as nursing homes — already reportable even without specific testing.
State health officials are working with the Washington State Hospital Association, which supports the rule because it will help the state track this new strain of swine flu. One goal is to assure that reporting is required for only as long as necessary to confirm that this influenza strain is no stronger than the common flu.

laboratory-reportable in Arizona (ADHS)

http://www.azdhs.gov/flu/h1n1/index.htm
per 17.June : 21+27+35+4 hospitalized (by age-group) , 1+2+4+0 deaths


we failed to track this earlier, the old records are no longer available,
so we can't track the trend, locate the peak, estimate the total impact

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

I'm having to really scour local news stories and have identified a number of states with a few hospitalizations reported locally. Italicized entries represent partial or unofficial data. Bold entries represent data from state health department websites or reports.

AZ - 87
CA - 99
CO - 22
CT - 28
DE - 12
FL - 25
GA - 2
HI - 1
IL - 1
IN - 26
ME - 7
MD - 1
MA - 99
MI - 5
MN - 111
MO - 4
NH - 10
NY - 826
NC - 2

OK - 4
OR - 16
PA - 1
RI - 23
SD - 0
UT - 129
VT - 0
WA - 53
WV - 4
WI - 3

TOTAL 1,602

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

The data posted on most of the state health department sites appears to be getting less and less current. Only West Virginia states that updates will be done more than once weekly and their's is the only hospitalization case count that changed since Friday - up 1 from 4 to 5.

Data on a number of the sites is well over a week old. For example, Washington state stopped reporting cases and is only reporting hospitalizations, and yet their most current number is dated June 13th. I'm not convinced that this is simply a function of managing the workload.

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

JimO,

Nice work digging up those numbers, I see we are close to the CDC estimate but still missing a ton of state figures.

I found this little gem from may 5th which states that the CDC had hospitalization details on only 399 of the 642 confirmed cases. It appears as if they only get hospitalization details on roughly 60% of their confirmed cases.

http://scienceblogs.com/effectmeasure/2009/05/swine_flu_more_on_the_cases.php


"Hospitalization status was known for 399 of the cases and amounted to 36 in the series (it has since increased). While this 9% prevalence is high, it is likely that more serious cases were preferentially tested, so we have yet to get a good fix on the severity of illness caused by this virus. Sufficient information on 22 hospitalized patients showed that 12, or about half, had underlying medical conditions that might have increased risk, but half did not, that is, they were previously healthy individuals, many of them young. There were 11 cases of pneumonia among the hospitalized. 8 wound up in intensive care, 4 had respiratory failure and 2 died."

Another NY county for you:

Quote from the article:

In total, eight people, including two adults, have been hospitalized in Erie County since the first case of H1N1 was confirmed here May 11, public health officials confirmed.

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

see here, in which states influenza is reportable:

then look at their state department health webpage
for a statistic of influenza cases...



Influenza is

reportable by other in:

CO,FL,NE,NM,PA,
* CSTE's National Office has updated this information based on the state’s
reportable disease and not by a representative from the participating state.

if every member selects one of these state and reports the numbers here,
then we should have xxx reports here...

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

I'll post another update soon, but I've resorted to old-fashioned PI techniques. I'm making phone calls. I managed to get numbers current as of last Friday from VA and IL and have calls into several other state contacts. I've found that each state reports hospitalizations to the CDC on Friday, but you have to call three or four people before you find someone who has access to the State's weekly report to the CDC.

My tally so far is 1,911 and still don't have number from PA, WI, TX, NJ, MI, or FL. Assuming a hospitalization rate of 10% from these states, the total will be over 2,900.

I'll post the numbers I have by the end of the day.

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

Interesting that the states call in their numbers to the CDC the same day that the CDC does its own reporting to the general public. If that is the case, then I would assume that the data the CDC is reporting each Friday at 11 AM is a full week old, or am I misinterpreting?

I believe you are correct because the table provided on the CDC website indicates that it is reporting information received by 11 am Thursday.
