Definition of an influenza admission across APC, UEC, SARI and SGSS data.

Admissions are considered as patients admitted into the acute hospital in either a general ward or critical care. Both PCR and molecular point of care tests are included. We define the reporting frequency as how often information is shared, and the reporting lag as the time between information submission and the information being complete.

本数据集所纳入的入院病例，指在急性医院普通病房或重症监护室接受收治的患者。纳入的检测类型涵盖聚合酶链式反应（PCR）与即时分子检测（molecular point of care tests）。本研究将报告频率定义为信息共享的频次，将报告滞后时长定义为信息提交至信息最终完整的时间间隔。
