摘要

Background: New York City (NYC) was an epicenter in 2009 of a novel SOIV illness outbreak in the US. Due to barriers to early care and prevalence of health risks, severity among urban inner-city minority patients is greater. Disparities of severity and outcomes have been described based on age and co-morbidity. We report the 2009 SOIV illness characteristics and comparison between young and older urban minority New Yorkers during the 2009 pandemic. Methods: A retrospective study of SOIV-illness among inner-city minority New Yorkers hospitalized in a city-hospital setting at South Bronx was conducted. Two hundred and ninety eight individuals had a positive screening rapid influenza antigen diagnostic (RIDT) test. Among them, 40 adults (> 18 years age) and 40 children were hospitalized with SOIV illness. Results: All study patients were urban New Yorkers of Hispanic (75%) or African American background (25%). Fourteen tested RIDT +, 5 had polymerase chain reaction (PCR) + and 61 had both positive. Adult’s SOIV illness were mostly young (median age 44.5 years), but among children there was no age predilection. Frequent co-morbidities (75% in adults & 47.5% in children) such as chronic airway disease, diabetes and obesity were noted. Adults requiring intensive care (37.5%) had higher prevalence of diabetes, were severely ill on admission ( median SOFA & APACHE-II scores 13 & 31 respectively), had greater length of stay (median 6 days) and significant mortality (26.6 %). Only adults had organ dysfunction (42.5%). About 10% of adults died who mostly were young and obese. Compared to adults, children had less severe SOIV illness not associated with death, intensive care admission or organ dysfunction. Conclusion: This is the first detailed study of hospitalized pediatric and adult New Yorkers highlighting age-related health disparities due to 2009 SOIV illness among urban inner-city ethnic minority. In order to provide early and effective care to SOIV-infected inner-city patients and optimize outcomes, health-care providers should be aware of clinical risks and differences in disease characteristics within this population. Introduction Infection due to 2009 novel swine origin Influenza-A H1N1 virus (SOIV) has emerged as a global pandemic (1). In the United States (US) and worldwide, several case series of severe disease and deaths have been reported. (2-9). In the US, New York City (NYC) was the first epicenter of the SOIV illness outbreak (4). US surveillance data reveals that 6.9% of all deaths were due to influenza and pneumonia, higher than the epidemic threshold of 6.6% (10). Currently, there are no studies on differences among characteristics of hospitalized SOIV infected inner-city minority adult and pediatric patients, except for a recent report on SOIV features among New Yorkers (4). Lincoln Medical and Mental Health center (LMMHC), a university-affiliated urban public NYC Health and Hospital Corporation institution serving inner-city minority New Yorkers in the South Bronx, encountered a number of cases with Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) during the 2009 outbreak. The characteristics and comparison of hospitalized pediatric and adult with SOIV illness are reported. Methods and Materials A retrospective observational study was conducted on adult and pediatric patients hospitalized for at least 24 hours with ILI and laboratory evidence of “probable” or “confirmed” 2009 SOIV-illness to LMMHC between April-July 2009. The study protocol and data abstraction tools were approved by the Institutional Review Board and informed consent was waived. Patients with ILI were identified through daily reports from the emergency department(ED) and hospital wards. Data on demographic features, co-morbidity, clinical characteristics, laboratory tests and outcomes were extracted by 2 trained independent investigators using a standardized data-collection tool. Data regarding ED visits including respiratory infections utilizing ICD-9 codes were als
