2004年，科罗拉多州成为第一个将实验室确诊的流感相关住院作为基于病例的可报告疾病的州。我们总结了科罗拉多在前4个流感季节（2004-2008年）的流感住院监测。我们强调了流感季节之间的相似性和差异;没有两个季节是完全相同的。2005-06年流感季节有两个不同的活动波（A型和B型），2006-07年流感季节明显较晚且较温和，2007-08年流感B活动明显较强。基于病例的流感住院监测提供了关于季节性流感活动时间进程、报告病例数和按年龄组和流感病毒类型划分的基于人群的发病率以及相对严重程度的信息。流感住院监测比任何其他监测措施（例如，监测流感样疾病），目前在各州广泛使用。更多的州应考虑对流感住院患者实施基于病例的监测。
Colorado became the first state to make laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations a case-based reportable condition in 2004. We summarized surveillance for influenza hospitalizations in Colorado during the first 4 recorded influenza seasons (2004-2008). We highlight the similarities and differences among influenza seasons; no 2 seasons were entirely the same. The 2005-06 influenza season had 2 distinct waves of activity (types A and B), the 2006-07 season was substantially later and milder, and 2007-08 had substantially greater influenza B activity. The case-based surveillance for influenza hospitalizations provides information regarding the time course of seasonal influenza activity, reported case numbers and population-based rates by age group and influenza virus type, and a measure of relative severity. Influenza hospitalization surveillance provides more information about seasonal influenza activity than any other surveillance measure (e.g., surveillance for influenza-like illness) currently in widespread use among states. More states should consider implementing case-based surveillance for influenza hospitalizations.
