Severity:

  • The severity of an influenza outbreak (epidemic or pandemic) is measured by the number of influenza infections that result in hospitalization or death. To date, severity for the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic is comparable to or slightly greater than the severity seen during regular flu seasons.
  • At this time there is no evidence that severity for the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic is changing.
  • A total of 698 influenza-associated hospitalizations (IAHs) (due to both seasonal and 2009 pandemic (H1N1) strains) have been reported to public health this influenza season. This is 75 more than reported last week (last week?s total IAHs was 623). Of the 75 IAHs reported this week, 24 occurred within this last reporting week (11/08/09 to 11/14/09), and 51 occurred prior to that but were not reported to public health until this week. In some instances reporting lag times exist from the time the hospitalization occurs to when it is reported to public health.
2009 Pandemic A (H1N1) deaths:

  • The severity measure listed above is for influenza caused by all strains (regular seasonal flu and the 2009 Pandemic A (H1N1)). In addition, Utahis collecting data on patient deaths (whether hospitalized or not) known to have been related to the 2009 Pandemic A (H1N1) strain.
  • A total of 19 deaths related to 2009 Pandemic A (H1N1) have been reported to public health this influenza season. This is five more than reported last week. Of the five deaths reported this week, one died within the last reporting week (11/08/09 to 11/14/09) and four died prior to 11/08/09, but were reported this past reporting week.
  • For more information regarding these deaths, please refer to the Local Health District.
Deaths not previously reported:

  • 1 female, age 50-64 (died within the last reporting week)
  • 1 male, age 50-64 (died prior to this last reporting week)
  • 1 female, age 25-49 (died prior to this last reporting week)
