Description:Updated May 3, 2024
Reported and forecasted new influenza hospital admissions as of May 1, 2024.
Interpretation of Forecasts of New Hospital Admissions
This week’s ensemble predicts that the number of new weekly laboratory confirmed influenza hospital admissions will likely decrease nationally, with 400 to 3,900 laboratory confirmed influenza hospital admissions likely reported in the week ending May 18, 2024.
This week, 24 modeling groups contributed 28 forecasts that were eligible for inclusion in the ensemble forecasts for at least one jurisdiction. Contributing teams are listed below.
Ensemble forecasts combine forecasts from diverse models into one forecast. They have been among the most reliable forecasts in performance for previous influenza and COVID-19 forecasting efforts, but even the ensemble forecasts may not reliably predict rapid changes.
The figure shows the number of new laboratory confirmed influenza hospital admissions reported in the United States each week from September 1 through April 27 and forecasted new influenza hospital admissions per week for this week and the next 2 weeks, through May 18. Hospitals are required to report daily laboratory-confirmed influenza hospitalizations to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN)
