*When fitting ILI weekly incidence per 100,000 population, reporting rate was adjusted from sample population size (100,000) to country population size to provide estimates comparable with those reported for confirmed cases. When fitting ILI weekly incidence per 10,000 consultations, reporting rate was adjusted using a range of sample population size (10,000–100,000).
