Note. CI = confidence interval. 2003–04 could not contribute to pre-influenza period for hospitalizations and was excluded from all periods for mortality owing to early start to influenza season that year.
Adjusted for age, prior pneumococcal immunization, and medical visits prior year.
Pneumonia, influenza, or acute respiratory disease listed as most responsible admission diagnosis.
