Data are for the pandemic and post-pandemic periods, computed as the product of the risk of FLU002 influenza-like illness outpatients getting hospitalized and the FLU003 hospitalized patients having died at day 60.

Abbreviations: P (D|H), probability of death given hospitalization; P (H|ILI) , probability of hospitalization given influenza-like illness.

*Case fatality rate not calculated when fewer than 100 outpatients or inpatients contained in any stratum.
