Table 2.
Ratios of MAARI rates attributable to influenza (Knox / Knox-surrounding counties) among school-age children aged 5–17 years
| Influenza season |
ED visits Rate Ratio |
95% CI | Hospitalizations Rate Ratio |
95% CI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2000–2001 | 0.83 | (0.66, 1.00) | 0.78 | (*, 1.86) |
| 2001–2002 | 1.02 | (0.74, 1.30) | 0.69 | (*, 1.57) |
| 2002–2003 | 0.99 | (0.74, 1.24) | 0.40 | (*, 1.49) |
| 2003–2004 | 0.88 | (0.74, 1.02) | 0.83 | (*, 1.68) |
| 2004–2005 | 1.06 | (0.79, 1.33) | 1.63 | (*, 4.08) |
| 2000–2005 | 0.94 | (0.73, 1.15) | 0.82 | (*, 1.95) |
95% CI, confidence intervals. Rate ratios represent Knox rates divided by Knox-surrounding counties rates
Ratio was not computed because there was no excess MAARI hospitalizations attributable to influenza in at least one of the populations.
