---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |  |  | Pri | Sec | Pri | Sec |
GP-ILI: No. of ILIs per GP doctor | Based on ILI reporting by network of 23 GPs, where numerator is number of ILI reports and denominator is number of GPs reporting per day (median 14/d, IQR: 10-15); ILI is defined here as a consult for acute respiratory illness with a temperature of 38°C and above | 25 Jun 2009 to 10 Oct 2009 (weeks 25 to 40)1 | NA | NA | 440 | 279 |
Lab-ILI: Proportion of ILIs at GP clinics testing positive for pdmH1N1 | Based on testing of ILI samples from a separate sentinel GP network by the National Public Health Laboratory, where numerator is number of samples positive for pdmH1N1 and denominator is number of samples tested; ILI is defined here as a consult for acute respiratory illness with a temperature of 38°C and above | 21 Jun 2009 to 10 Oct 2009 (weeks 25 to 40)2 | 1,372 | 1,029 | 878 | 656 |
Sch-LCC: Lab confirmed cases of pdmH1N1 | Notifications of laboratory confirmed cases of pdmH1N1 as compiled by the Ministry of Education | 12 Jun 2009 to 7 Oct 2009 (weeks 23 to 40) | 270,3443 | 215,3793 | 654 | 533 |
Sch-DTM: Daily tempe-rature moni-toring | Temperature taking of students conducted twice daily in all schools; counts of the number of students detected to have fever on twice daily temperature taking is presented, with fever defined as 37.9°C and above for children of ages 12 years and below and 37.6°C and above for children of ages 13 years and above | 30 Jun 2009 to 24 Jul 2009 (weeks 26 to 29)4 | 270,3443 | 215,3793 | 4,656 | 2,932 |
Sch-FRI: Febrile respiratory illness reporting | 3 primary and 3 secondary schools from different areas of Singapore were selected to report FRI episodes, with FRI defined as fever of ≥ 37.5°C accompanied by either cough or sore throat; data was collated by the class teacher-in-charge once every 2 weeks | 29 Jun 2009 to 3 Oct 2009 (weeks 26 to 39)5 | 4,320 | 4,821 | 964 | 1,178 |
Pre-SS and Post-SS: Pre-epidemic and post-epidemic serological surveys | Age-stratified serological data based on the proportion with hemagglutination inhibition titers ≥ 40 to pdmH1N1 in post-epidemic samples (Post-SS) minus that in pre-epidemic samples (Pre-SS), adjusted for the sensitivity of detecting confirmed infections using cross-sectional hemagglutination inhibition titers ≥ 40 to pdmH1N1 | Pre-SS: 1 Feb 2008 to 31 May 2009 | 381 | 321 | 3 | 34 |
 |  | Post-SS: 1 Oct 2009 to 2 Jun 2010 | 124 | 96 | 41 | 39 |
