" Canadian hospitals kept pace with the surge of H1N1 patients needing in-patient care during the peak of the pandemic, according to a new analysis which found the impact of the virus was more significant than originally estimated.
A report released Tuesday by the Canadian Institute for Health Information found more than 15,000 Canadians were hospitalized for H1N1 between April and December of 2009 — about 6,500 more than what has previously been reported.
Two-thirds of these hospitalizations took place during a five-week period between October and November 2009, according to the CIHI analysis, which considered both confirmed and probable H1N1 cases."
