Since SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes disease 2019 (COVID-19), was first detected in December (1), approximately 1.3 million cases have been reported worldwide (2), including 330,000 United States (3). To conduct population-based surveillance for laboratory-confirmed COVID-19-associated hospitalizations States, COVID-19-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET) created using existing infrastructure of Influenza (FluSurv-NET) (4) and Respiratory Syncytial Virus...

Abstract Background Currently, the United States has largest number of reported coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and deaths globally. Using a geographically diverse surveillance network, we describe risk factors for severe outcomes among adults hospitalized with COVID-19. Methods We analyzed data from 2491 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 between 1 March–2 May 2020, as identified through Coronavirus Disease 2019–Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network, which comprises 154...

CDC estimates that influenza resulted in 9-41 million illnesses, 140,000-710,000 hospitalizations, and 12,000-52,000 deaths annually during 2010-2020. Persons from some racial ethnic minority groups have historically experienced higher rates of severe had lower vaccination coverage compared with non-Hispanic White (White) persons. This report examines hospitalization by race ethnicity a 12-13-year period (through the 2021-22 season).Data population-based surveillance for laboratory-confirmed...

Objectives Some studies suggested more COVID-19-associated hospitalizations among racial and ethnic minorities. To inform public health practice, the Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET) quantified associations between race/ethnicity, census tract socioeconomic indicators, hospitalization rates. Methods Using data from COVID-NET population-based surveillance reported during March 1–April 30, 2020 along with denominator US Census Bureau, we calculated rates by racial/ethnic...
