目的了解澳大利亚昆士兰州27家公立医院急诊科（ED）流感样症状患者的发病率、特征和转归。对全州医院艾德信息系统数据进行了分析。流感和非流感病例之间的年度比较，在整个南半球流感季节（6月至9月）每年。结果流感相关的介绍显着增加，从2005年的3.4%，2009年的9.4%，5年，反映了276%的相对增长。基于流感季节，入院率随时间推移出现流感样症状患者特征的差异（随着时间的推移，从2005年的28%下降到2009年的18%），住院时间（随着时间的推移，从2005年的中位数210分钟下降到2009年的164分钟）和访问阻滞（随着时间的推移，从33%上升到41%）。此外，每年都有一个显着的（p
Objective To describe the incidence, characteristics and outcomes of patients with influenza-like symptoms presenting to 27 public hospital emergency departments (EDs) in Queensland, Australia.Methods A descriptive retrospective study covering 5 years (2005-9) of historical data from 27 hospital EDs was undertaken. State-wide hospital ED Information System data were analysed. Annual comparisons between influenza and non-influenza cases were made across the southern hemisphere influenza season (June-September) each year.Results Influenza-related presentations increased significantly over the 5 years from 3.4% in 2005 to 9.4% in 2009, reflecting a 276% relative increase. Differences over time regarding characteristics of patients with influenza-like symptoms, based on the influenza season, occurred for admission rate (decreased over time from 28% in 2005 to 18% in 2009), length of stay (decreased over time from a median of 210 min in 2005 to 164 min in 2009) and access block (increased over time from 33% to 41%). Also, every year there was a significantly (p
