Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe the features of deaths associated with the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) by 26 November 2009 in Korea. We collected standardized case reports on 115 confirmed deaths through a nationwide enhanced influenza surveillance system. The median age was 61 yr (interquartile range [IQR], 0.2-97 yr) and 58 (50.4%) were females. The case fatality rate was estimated as 16 per 100,000 cases. The age-related mortality rate had a J-shaped curve. Eighty-three patients (72.2%) had at least 1 underlying medical disease. Bacterial co-infections were detected in the blood or sputum specimens from 34 patients. Of the 63 patients who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU), the median time from symptom onset to hospital admission was 2 days (IQR, 0-22 days), and the median time from hospitalization to ICU admission was 1 day (IQR, 0-17 days). Neuraminidase inhibitors were administered to 100 patients (87.0%), 36% of whom began treatment within 2 days. In conclusion, fatal cases from the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) infection in Korea are mainly aged individuals with underlying disease, and associated with pneumonia, bacterial co-infections, and multi-organ failure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
