We compared comorbidity measures by age group and risk factors for influenza-like illness (ILI)\u2013related intensive care unit (ICU) stay during the 2009 seasonal influenza and influenza A (pH1N1) pandemic. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. We identified all patients discharged from Massachusetts hospitals with ILI-related diagnoses between October 1, 2008, and April 25, 2009, and pH1N1\u2013related diagnoses between April 26 and September 30, 2009. We calculated the Diagnostic Cost Group (DxCG) risk score as a measure of comorbidity. We used logistic regression predictive models to compare ICU stay predictors. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. Mean DxCG scores were similar for pH1N1 and seasonal influenza time periods (0.69 and 0.70). Compared with those aged 45 to 64 years, patients younger than 5, 5 to 12, and 13 to 18 years had an increased risk of pH1N1-related ICU stay. Within the pH1N1 cohort, an asthma diagnosis was highly predictive of ICU admission among those younger than 5, 5 to 12, and 13 to 18 years, and pregnancy among those aged 26 to 44 years. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusion. High-risk groups, including children with asthma or pregnant women, would benefit from improved surveillance and resource allocation during influenza outbreaks to prevent serious ILI-related complications. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2014.302197","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,8]],"date-time":"2014-10-08T16:34:26Z","timestamp":1412786066000},"page":"e118-e125","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Association of Age and Comorbidity on 2009 Influenza A Pandemic H1N1-Related Intensive Care Unit Stay in Massachusetts"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"104","author":[{"given":"Hilary E.\u2009D.","family":"Placzek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hilary E.\u2009D.
