Influenza – Epidemiology – Americas
Clarivate Epidemiology’s coverage of influenza comprises epidemiological estimates of key patient populations in 45 countries worldwide. We report diagnosed influenza event rates for each country, as well as annualized events projected to the national population.
All patient populations are forecast over a period of 10 years.
Clarivate Epidemiology’s influenza forecast will answer the following question:
- How will demographic trends, such as population aging and improving life expectancy, affect the epidemiology of influenza over the forecast period?
All forecast data are available on the Clarivate Insights Platform in tabular format, with options to download to Excel. All populations are accompanied by a comprehensive description of the methods and data sources used, with hyperlinks to external sources. A summary evidence table generated as part of our systematic review of the epidemiological literature is also provided for full transparency into research and methods.
Clarivate Epidemiology provides 10 years of forecast data for the following influenza patient population:
- Diagnosed influenza event rates.
Note: Coverage may vary by country.
