U.S. Hospitalizations by State

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.

Hey Jim - good work. I'd like to volunteer to do the weekly checking here in Georgia. Can you flesh out the contact info above? Give me an idea where you started? CDC? Some central state health department?

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 assumed that the CDC's BioIntelligence Center (BIC) compiled these figures. From what I understand the numbers are reported real time directly to the CDC from participating hospitals.. The states can log into the CDC servers and view their state totals.

Of course only a fraction of hospitals collaborate this way with the CDC, which is why I think their totals are low.

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

EIP is a funding mechanism...

"Through the EIP, state and local health departments receive funds to conduct population-based surveillance that goes beyond their routine function to develop "next generation" surveillance science, and often involves partnerships among public health agencies and academic medical centers."

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

I live in Louisiana, my supervisors husband has had the flu for several days. The physicians are telling them it is not H1N1. I do not know of any other flu's going around in late June. He has now been placed in ICU with pneumonia. It sounds familar to me. Thanks for all the great info you guys give me.
 
Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

I've managed to get some data from States that aren't reporting hospitalization data on their websites, but I'm still missing data from several states that have case counts over 500 (TX, NJ, MI, HI). If anyone has a source for these states in particular, I would appreciate it.

Bold indicates that the number is a total from an official source and italics is a partial official total (such as NY) or a count based on what I found in media reports. If the state is not listed, I have no data. Some states report no hospitalizations, so they are listed with 0 cases.

For states with little or no hospitalization data I considered counting all deaths as hospitalizations, but found at least one case where a death occurred at home. Does anyone have an opinion whether a death should automatically be counted as a hospitalization?

Here is what I have as of midday today:

AL - 0
AZ - 87
CA - 152
CO - 30
CT - 37
DE - 12
FL - 101
GA - 3
HI - 1
IL - 238
IN - 26
IA - 9
KS - 27
KY - 1
ME - 6
MD - 2
MA - 134
MI - 6
MN - 185
MT - 4
NB - 3
NV - 1
NH - 10
NJ - 5
NY - 839
NC - 3
ND - 2
OK - 4
OR - 32
PA - 34
RI - 37
SD - 1
TN - 6
TX - 5
UT - 210
VT - 0
VA - 22
WA - 53
WV - 6
WI - 6
DC - 0

TOTAL - 2,467

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

I got a call back from Texas, and they have 140 total hospitalizations of probable and confirmed cases.

That brings the total to: 2,602

In addition to missing some states, there are several that I called earlier in the week who gave me their number through last Thursday, when they reported to CDC, so some are out of date.
 
Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

So what is up with New York Hospitalizations???

From june 23 to June 26 ( 3 days) only 3 new Hospitalizations has been reported in FT reports.
http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101871&page=4


In the same 3 day period there are 3 deaths and at least 231 new cases (we know there are many more, they are just not tested) and still only 3 more Hospitalized?

Thise 3 new Hospitalizations, were they reported by HA? or have there been no reports on NY state Hospitalizations in 3 days?

If there has been no reports then WHY???


New York Hospitalizations (reported on FT) :

June 23, 2009 - NY - 836
June 26, 2009 - NY - 839


New York State Total Confirmed Cases (reported on FT) :

June 23, 2009 - State Total Confirmed Cases: 1795 / 37 deaths
June 26, 2009 - State Total Confirmed Cases: 2026 / 40 deaths

The only official updated numbers are from NYC and their number only went up by 3, from 801 to 804 on 6/23 (that's why the NY number is qualified on my list since it's incomplete). NYC's next update is scheduled for 7/1. The other two sources were 21 from Onondoga County (21) from a news report, and an additional 14 cases reported in the media from other counties. I have a call into the state health department with a request for the statewide number.

Regarding deaths versus hospitalizations, because I have read reports of deaths occurring at home, I have not automatically included deaths as hospitalizations, but am certainly open to suggestions.
 
Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

Thanks JimO for the explanation, and by the way, thanks for all your great work.

If you call the NY HA could you please ask them why they haven?t reported
NY Hospitalizations since June 23rd? And also what their plans are concerning reporting NY Hospitalizations in the future ? And if they tell you they plan to only report Hospitalizations once a week or somthing like that, then ask them why?

Thanks

Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

Washington updated their site and reports 86 hospitalizations.

This brings the new total for the U.S. to: 2,635
 
Re: U.S. Hospitalizations by State

not hospitalizations, but here is another influenza surveillance network:

Syndromic surveillance ILI data as monitored through the ESSENCE system is a newly added component of the overall state influenza surveillance program. Florida uses the Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Noti-fication of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE) for syndromic surveillance, which currently collects data from 86* hospitals. These data are processed into 11 different syndrome categories based on the patient's chief complaint. One of the categories is influenza-like illness (ILI), which is composed of chief complaints that in-clude the words "influenza" or "flu", or either fever and cough or sore throat. The data are collected on a dailybasis from participating hospital emergency departments (ED) across the state.



lets make a thread about all the networks, which members they have,
how much of the population is covered, how reliable, good they are...


USA:
ESSENCE
EIP
ILINet

world:flunet


ED:emergency department (hospital ?)
ER:emergency room (company,school,...?)
