Overview

Swine influenza usually occurs in outbreaks/pandemics, and the incidence may vary greatly from one year to another. The 2009 H1N1 global infection rate was 11% to 21%. During the 2009 swine influenza outbreak, the incidence in the USA was approximately 18,000 per 100,000 individuals (a total of 60 million cases) with approximately 265,000 hospitalizations reported. The worldwide case fatality rate is unknown, but is thought to range from 15,000 (initial reports) to 500,000 when patients with no healthcare access were counted. Individuals of all age groups may be affected by swine influenza. There is no gender or racial predilection to the development of swine influenza.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • Swine influenza usually occurs in outbreaks/pandemics, and the incidence may vary greatly from one year to another.
  • The 2009 H1N1 global infection rate was 11% to 21%.[1]
  • During the 2009 swine influenza outbreak, the incidence in the USA was approximately 18,000 per 100,000 individuals (a total of 60 million cases) with approximately 265,000 hospitalizations reported.[2]

Case-Fatality Rate

  • The exact case fatality rate is unknown.
  • During the 2009 swine influenza outbreak, initial reports stated that a total of 15,000-18,000 individuals died worldwide, the majority of whom were under 65 years of age.[3] However, reports published three years later speculated that more than 280,000 - 500,000 individuals may have died due to the 2009 swine influenza. The initial underestimation was thought to be caused by not counting individuals with no access to healthcare in developing countries.[4][5][6]

Age

  • Individuals of all age groups may be affected by swine influenza.[7]
  • Compared to the elderly, younger individuals are at higher risk of developing swine influenza. It is thought that older individuals may have a higher degree of cross-protection against influenza infection.[7]
  • Small children and the elderly are at higher risk of developing swine flu-related complications.

Gender

There is no gender predilection to the development of swine influenza.

Race

There is no racial predilection to the development of swine influenza.
