Re: Weekly MMWR (2010-11): Weeks 40-4 (Six Pediatric Deaths)

Re: Weekly MMWR (2010-11): Weeks 40-4 (Six Pediatric Deaths)

8,45% is a big spike.
In the last season the highest was 8.3
Analyzing mortality by age groups, 45-64 seems to be the group that most contribute to the spike

Re: Weekly MMWR (2010-11): Weeks 40-4 (Six Pediatric Deaths)

I was pretty shocked. If the increase is due to pH1N1, then it could go higher, much higher, since pH1N1 is just becoming dominant in the Southeast, starting its upward trend in the Northeast and Midwest, and barely detected west of the Rockies.

Re: Weekly MMWR (2010-11): Weeks 40-4 (Six Pediatric Deaths)

Is there a specific way of finding out the break down of ages for deaths. Although there seems to be much Influenza, I wonder which one is the real killer. By the post above, Jim, and thanks for all your great graphs for the States, it looks like Florida is kind of peaked and coming down, as you said and very similiar with other states. The overall death total would be interesting at this point. I just do not know where to go on this forum yet.
Thank you for help. Very Informative forum. Will let you know that I live in California and we know many that have had flu, however, they are not going to MD. They are riding it out. So not sure if California stats are right. We had so many deaths last year.

% P&I by region;

Pacific: 10.8%
New England: 10.3%
S Atlantic: 8.7%
ES Central: 8.5%
WN central 8.3%
Mountain: 8.1%
EN Central: 8.1%
Mid-Atlantic 7.0%
WS Central: 6.8%

@ Jeff - The weekly mortality report breaks the overall fatalities into broad age based catagories, but does not do so for the Pneumonia and Influenza deaths. Confirmed flu deaths are tracked by age on some of the State reports but not all. MissouriWatcher does a spectacular job keeping those threads updated each week - but the data provided is often very incomplete.

The CDC does provide a weekly Fluview report that details the ages of confirmed hospitalized cases (purple and white table about half way down this link http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm ) It also has gender and virus type information. Unfortunately it does not provide the extra dimension of correlating virus type to age group. I still assume that H1N1 affects under 65's more, but there is a lack of US based data this year.
