Of these, 47% were over 65 years of age, 10% were Indigenous Australians, 3.3% were pregnant and 85% had chronic co-morbidities. The majority of cases were due to influenza A. Influenza B was detected in 7% of patients. There were a large number of hospital admissions detected with confirmed influenza in this national observational surveillance system in 2014. These are estimated to represent a national annual burden of around 15,000 admissions and almost 100,000 bed-days nationally.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:29:11 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34574 Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:56:07 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46728 95% had at least 2 vaccine doses. Attack rates were 295 of 535 (55.1%) and 102 of 189 (54.0%), respectively (mean, 5 days postevent). At the ball, attack rates increased with time since vaccination: 12.5% among those vaccinated 1–2 months previously and 68.0% among those vaccinated ≥3 months previously; such differences were not found at the nightclub. Recent vaccination prevents Omicron infection, but is time and setting dependent, emphasizing the importance of nonpharmaceutical public health measures in addition to vaccine booster doses to maximize protection in high-risk contexts.]]> Tue 29 Nov 2022 11:55:33 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54499 Tue 27 Feb 2024 15:18:23 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54220 65 years of age, 36 (8%) were children (< 16 years), 6 (1%) were Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, 4 (1%) were pregnant and 289 (65%) had chronic comorbidities. COVID-19 hospital admissions peaked between weeks 13 and 15 (first wave) nationally, and again between weeks 31 and 35 (Victoria), with most admissions represented by those above 40 years of age. Discussion: There was an unusually low number of hospital admissions with laboratory-confirmed influenza in this season, compared to recent seasons. This is likely to be due to effective public health interventions and international border closures as a result of a rise in COVID-19 respiratory infections and associated hospitalisations.]]> Tue 13 Feb 2024 12:02:47 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23340 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:34 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36574 Mon 24 Jul 2023 18:02:31 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49724 Fri 23 Jun 2023 10:08:54 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49361 Fri 12 May 2023 12:35:08 AEST ]]>
