Project Tycho datasets contain case counts for reported disease conditions for countries around the world. The Project Tycho data curation team extracts these case counts from various reputable sources, typically from national or international health authorities, such as the US Centers for Disease Control or the World Health Organization. These original data sources include both open- and restricted-access sources. For restricted-access sources, the Project Tycho team has obtained permission for redistribution from data contributors. All datasets contain case count data that are identical to counts published in the original source and no counts have been modified in any way by the Project Tycho team. The Project Tycho team has pre-processed datasets by adding new variables, such as standard disease and location identifiers, that improve data interpretabilty. We also formatted the data into a standard data format.

Each Project Tycho dataset contains case counts for a specific condition (e.g. measles) and for a specific country (e.g. The United States). Case counts are reported per time interval. In addition to case counts, datsets include information about these counts (attributes), such as the location, age group, subpopulation, diagnostic certainty, place of aquisition, and the source from which we extracted case counts. One dataset can include many series of case count time intervals, such as "US measles cases as reported by CDC", or "US measles cases reported by WHO", or "US measles cases that originated abroad", etc.

Depending on the intended use of a dataset, we recommend a few data processing steps before analysis:

• Analyze missing data: Project Tycho datasets do not inlcude time intervals for which no case count was reported (for many datasets, time series of case counts are incomplete, due to incompleteness of source documents) and users will need to add time intervals for which no count value is available. Project Tycho datasets do include time intervals for which a case count value of zero was reported.
• Separate cumulative from non-cumulative time interval series. Case count time series in Project Tycho datasets can be "cumulative" or "fixed-intervals". Cumulative case count time series consist of overlapping case count intervals starting on the same date, but ending on different dates. For example, each interval in a cumulative count time series can start on January 1st, but end on January 7th, 14th, 21st, etc. It is common practice among public health agencies to report cases for cumulative time intervals. Case count series with fixed time intervals consist of mutually exxclusive time intervals that all start and end on different dates and all have identical length (day, week, month, year). Given the different nature of these two types of case count data, we indicated this with an attribute for each count value, named "PartOfCumulativeCountSeries".

This dataset contains the following files for California influenza surveillance data: 1) Outpatient Influenza-like Illness Surveillance Data by Region and Influenza Season from volunteer sentinel providers; 2) Clinical Sentinel Laboratory Influenza and Other Respiratory Virus Surveillance Data by Region and Influenza Season from volunteer sentinel laboratories; and 3) Public Health Laboratory Influenza Respiratory Virus Surveillance Data by Region and Influenza Season from California public health laboratories. The Immunization Branch at the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) collects, compiles and analyzes information on influenza activity year-round in California and produces a weekly influenza surveillance report during October through May. The California influenza surveillance system is a collaborative effort between CDPH and its many partners at local health departments, public health and clinical laboratories, vital statistics offices, healthcare providers, clinics, emergency departments, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). California data are also included in the CDC weekly influenza surveillance report, FluView, and help contribute to the national picture of Influenza activity in the United States. The information collected allows CDPH and CDC to: 1) find out when and where influenza activity is occurring; 2) track influenza-related illness; 3) determine what influenza viruses are circulating; 4) detect changes in influenza viruses; and 5) measure the impact influenza is having on hospitalizations and deaths.

This file contains the provisional percent of total deaths by week for COVID-19, Influenza, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus for deaths occurring among residents in the United States. Provisional data are based on non-final counts of deaths based on the flow of mortality data in National Vital Statistics System.

NOTE: This dataset is no longer being updated but is being kept for historical reference. For current data on respiratory illness visits and respiratory laboratory testing data please see Influenza, COVID-19, RSV, and Other Respiratory Virus Laboratory Surveillance and Inpatient, Emergency Department, and Outpatient Visits for Respiratory Illnesses. This dataset includes aggregated weekly metrics of the surveillance indicators that the Department of Public Health uses to monitor influenza activity in Chicago. These indicators include: Influenza-associated ICU hospitalizations for Chicago residents, which is a reportable condition in Illinois (HOSP_ columns) Influenza laboratory data provided by participating sentinel laboratories in Chicago (LAB_ columns) Influenza-like illness data for outpatient clinic visits and emergency department visits. (ILI_ columns) For more information on ILINET, see https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/overview.htm#anchor_1539281266932. For more information on ESSENCE, see https://www.dph.illinois.gov/data-statistics/syndromic-surveillance All data are provisional and subject to change. Information is updated as additional details are received. At any given time, this dataset reflects data currently known to CDPH. Numbers in this dataset may differ from other public sources.

Provisional counts of the number of death occurrences in England and Wales due to coronavirus (COVID-19) and influenza and pneumonia, by age, sex and place of death.

The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) receives weekly deidentified provisional death certificate data for all deaths that occur in Chicago, which can include both Chicago and non-Chicago residents from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Illinois Vital Records System (IVRS). CDPH scans for keywords to identify deaths with COVID-19, influenza, or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) listed as an immediate cause of death, contributing factor, or other significant condition. The percentage of all reported deaths that are attributed to COVID-19, influenza, or RSV is calculated as the number of deaths for each respective disease divided by the number of deaths from all causes, multiplied by 100. This dataset reflects death certificates that have been submitted to IVRS at the time of transmission to CDPH each week – data from previous weeks are not updated with any new submissions to IVRS. As such, estimates in this dataset may differ from those reported through other sources. This dataset can be used to understand trends in COVID-19, influenza, and RSV mortality in Chicago but does not reflect official death statistics.

This file contains the complete set of data reported to 122 Cities Mortality Reposting System. The system was retired as of 10/6/2016. While the system was running each week, the vital statistics offices of 122 cities across the United States reported the total number of death certificates processed and the number of those for which pneumonia or influenza was listed as the underlying or contributing cause of death by age group (Under 28 days, 28 days - 1 year, 1-14 years, 15-24 years, 25-44 years, 45-64 years, 65-74 years, 75-84 years, and - 85 years). U:Unavailable. - : No reported cases.* Mortality data in this table were voluntarily reported from 122 cities in the United States, most of which have populations of >100,000. A death is reported by the place of its occurrence and by the week that the death certificate was filed. Fetal deaths are not included. Total includes unknown ages. More information on Flu Activity & Surveillance is available at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/fluactivitysurv.htm.

Note: On April 30, 2024, the Federal mandate for COVID-19 and influenza associated hospitalization data to be reported to CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) expired. Hospitalization data beyond April 30, 2024, will not be updated on the Open Data Portal. Hospitalization and ICU admission data collected from summer 2020 to May 10, 2023, are sourced from the California Hospital Association (CHA) Survey. Data collected on or after May 11, 2023, are sourced from CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN).

Data is from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Respiratory Virus State Dashboard at https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Respiratory-Viruses/RespiratoryDashboard.aspx.

Data are updated each Friday around 2 pm.

For COVID-19 death data: As of January 1, 2023, data was sourced from the California Department of Public Health, California Comprehensive Death File (Dynamic), 2023–Present. Prior to January 1, 2023, death data was sourced from the COVID-19 case registry. The change in data source occurred in July 2023 and was applied retroactively to all 2023 data to provide a consistent source of death data for the year of 2023. Influenza death data was sourced from the California Department of Public Health, California Comprehensive Death File (Dynamic), 2020–Present.

COVID-19 testing data represent data received by CDPH through electronic laboratory reporting of test results for COVID-19 among residents of California. Testing date is the date the test was administered, and tests have a 1-day lag (except for the Los Angeles County, which has an additional 7-day lag). Influenza testing data represent data received by CDPH from clinical sentinel laboratories in California. These laboratories report the aggregate number of laboratory-confirmed influenza virus detections and total tests performed on a weekly basis. These data do not represent all influenza testing occurring in California and are available only at the state level.

Effective September 27, 2023, this dataset will no longer be updated. Similar data are accessible from wonder.cdc.gov.

Deaths involving COVID-19, pneumonia, and influenza reported to NCHS by sex, age group, and jurisdiction of occurrence.

I hope to show the existence of correlations that warrant a deeper county by county analysis to identify areas of increased risk requiring increased resource allocation or increased attention to preventative measures.

This dataset includes influenza associated pediatric death count by Respiratory Season, Geography (Region), and Age Group. This dataset corresponds to the data on https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/epidemiology/respiratory-diseases-in-virginia/data/.

Annual: from October to the following September.Winter: from December to the following February.

The flu season usually lasts between November and April each year. Anyone can get the flu, which can sometimes lead to serious complications or even death.

NNDSS - TABLE 1Y. Mumps to Novel influenza A virus infections - 2020. In this Table, provisional cases* of notifiable diseases are displayed for United States, U.S. territories, and Non-U.S. residents.

Notice: Data from California published in week 29 for years 2019 and 2020 were incomplete when originally published on July 24, 2020. On August 4, 2020, incomplete case counts were replaced with a "U" indicating case counts are not available for specified time period.

Note: This table contains provisional cases of national notifiable diseases from the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). NNDSS data from the 50 states, New York City, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories are collated and published weekly on the NNDSS Data and Statistics web page (https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/data-and-statistics.html). Cases reported by state health departments to CDC for weekly publication are provisional because of the time needed to complete case follow-up. Therefore, numbers presented in later weeks may reflect changes made to these counts as additional information becomes available. The national surveillance case definitions used to define a case are available on the NNDSS web site at https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/. Information about the weekly provisional data and guides to interpreting data are available at: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/infectious-tables.html.

Footnotes: U: Unavailable — The reporting jurisdiction was unable to send the data to CDC or CDC was unable to process the data. -: No reported cases — The reporting jurisdiction did not submit any cases to CDC. N: Not reportable — The disease or condition was not reportable by law, statute, or regulation in the reporting jurisdiction. NN: Not nationally notifiable — This condition was not designated as being nationally notifiable. NP: Nationally notifiable but not published. NC: Not calculated — There is insufficient data available to support the calculation of this statistic. Cum: Cumulative year-to-date counts. Max: Maximum — Maximum case count during the previous 52 weeks. * Case counts for reporting years 2019 and 2020 are provisional and subject to change. Cases are assigned to the reporting jurisdiction submitting the case to NNDSS, if the case's country of usual residence is the U.S., a U.S. territory, unknown, or null (i.e. country not reported); otherwise, the case is assigned to the 'Non-U.S. Residents' category. Country of usual residence is currently not reported by all jurisdictions or for all conditions. For further information on interpretation of these data, see https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/document/Users_guide_WONDER_tables_cleared_final.pdf. †Previous 52 week maximum and cumulative YTD are determined from periods of time when the condition was reportable in the jurisdiction (i.e., may be less than 52 weeks of data or incomplete YTD data). § Novel influenza A virus infections are human infections with influenza A viruses that are different from currently circulating human seasonal influenza viruses. With the exception of one avian lineage influenza A (H7N2) virus, all novel influenza A virus infections reported to CDC since 2012 have been variant influenza viruses.

For the LEAD Hub we digitized and analyzed the following historical demographic and epidemiological data for the city and the canton of Zurich the first time: Since the end of the 19th century, the Federal Health Office (Eidgenössisches Gesundheitsamt) published a weekly bulletin on vital statistics, newly reported cases of notifiable infectious diseases, and hospitalisations. For the period January 1910 to December 1970, we have digitized and transcribed the following weekly series:

Weekly deaths for residents and non-residents of the city of Zurich. The quality of these historical vital statistics is assessed to be very good in the literature, incompleteness and migration are no longer a problem as compared to earlier years. However, age-, sex- and cause-specific death numbers were not available on the weekly level.

Weekly newly reported cases of influenza-like-illness for the canton and the city of Zurich. This series begins with the introduction of the reporting obligation for influenza in the canton of Zürich in mid-July 1918. As these figures do not include mild cases not treated by a doctor and misdiagnoses, they are probably underestimates, but can still track pandemic and seasonal waves. The reporting system and obligation did not change in the observed time period.

Weekly new hospitalisation due to influenza in the canton of Zurich. This series ends in 1938.

The original data format in the weekly bulletins are printed, aggregated tables that have been converted into PDFs using a professional book scanner. Transcription of the data was performed by student assistants using a software and running extended quality-controls. The original tables were in German and French, the digitised data set was annotated in English.

The digitized data are organized as a spreadsheet and stored in csv format. The data are organized as rows (representing reporting weeks) and columns (see variable list below). For a few weeks, information in the original sources was missing (indicated by 1 in the “interpolated” variable). In these cases, the missing values were interpolated by averaging the numbers of the week before and the week afterwards.
