Estimating influenza incidence and rates of influenza‐like illness in the outpatient setting
BACKGROUND Estimating influenza incidence in outpatient settings is challenging. We used outpatient healthcare practice populations as a proxy to estimate community incidence of influenza-like illness (ILI) and laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated ILI. METHODS From October 2009 to July 2010, 38 outpatient practices in seven jurisdictions conducted surveillance for ILI (fever with cough o...
متن کاملUtility of Outpatient Syndromic Data for Monitoring Influenza-like Illness
Introduction The North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) collects outpatient ILI data through North Dakota Influenza-like Illness Network (ND ILINet), providing situational awareness regarding the percent of visits for ILI at sentinel sites across the state. Because of increased clinic staff time devoted to electronic health initiatives and an expanding population, we have found sentinel site...
متن کاملAn estimate of the incidence of influenza-like illness during the influenza pandemic of 2009.

متن کاملEstimating dynamic transmission model parameters for seasonal influenza by fitting to age and season-specific influenza-like illness incidence.
Dynamic transmission models are essential to design and evaluate control strategies for airborne infections. Our objective was to develop a dynamic transmission model for seasonal influenza allowing to evaluate the impact of vaccinating specific age groups on the incidence of infection, disease and mortality. Projections based on such models heavily rely on assumed 'input' parameter values. In ...
متن کاملRelationship Between Baseline Influenza-like Illness Rates And Healthcare Settings
Introduction The primary goal of syndromic surveillance is early recognition of disease trends, in order to identify and control infectious disease outbreaks, such as influenza. For surveillance of influenza-like illness (ILI), public health departments receive data from multiple sources with varying degrees of patient acuity, including outpatient clinics and emergency departments. However, the...
