Background:
Little information is available describing the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of those< 12 months hospitalized with influenza, particularly at a population level.
Methods:
We used population-based, laboratory-confirmed influenza hospitalization surveillance data from 2003 to 2012 seasons to describe the impact of influenza by age category (< 3, 3 to< 6 and 6 to< 12 months). Logistic regression was used to explore risk factors for intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Adjusted age-specific, influenza-associated hospitalization rates were calculated and applied to the number of US infants to estimate national numbers of hospitalizations.
Results:
Influenza was associated with an annual average of 6514 infant hospitalizations (range 1842–12,502). Hospitalization rates among infants< 3 months were substantially higher than the rate in older infants. Most hospitalizations occurred in otherwise healthy …
