population

The dataset contains the National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP) emergency department visits for COVID-19, Influenza, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus and combined by age group, sex, race/ethnicity at national level for the US in the last year.

2023 Respiratory Virus Response - NSSP Emergency Department Visits - COVID-19, Flu, RSV, Combined – by Demographic Category

A species of BETACORONAVIRUS causing atypical respiratory disease (COVID-19) in humans. The organism was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China. The natural host is the Chinese intermediate horseshoe bat, RHINOLOPHUS affinis.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2

SARS-CoV2

An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the site of reproduction of an organism of a different taxon.

host organism

Host

Homo sapiens

A disease is a disposition (i) to undergo pathological processes that (ii) exists in an organism because of one or more disorders in that organism.

disease

Disease

A disease whose physical basis is an infectious disorder

infectious disease

Infectious Disease

A Coronavirus infection that is characterized by fever, cough and shortness of breath and that has_material_basis_in SARS-CoV-2.

COVID-19

The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.

Influenza A virus

viral Infectious disease

Viruses Infection

 A count of simulated or physical individuals in a population.

Population count

Population Count

An acute viral infection of the respiratory tract, occurring in isolated cases, in epidemics, or in pandemics; it is caused by serologically different strains of viruses (influenzaviruses) designated A, B, and C, has a 3-day incubation period, and usually lasts for 3 to 10 days. It is marked by inflammation of the nasal mucosa, pharynx, and conjunctiva; headache; myalgia; often fever, chills, and prostration; and occasionally involvement of the myocardium or central nervous system.

influenza

Influenza

A respiratory tract infection caused by a virus. Viruses represent the most common causes of upper and lower respiratory tract infections and include rhinoviruses, influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses, and respiratory syncytial virus.

viral respiratory tract infection

Viral Respiratory Tract Infection

A census that is the specific outcome of a population demographic survey.

population demographic census

Population Demographic

Infection with the respiratory syncytial virus, an RNA virus of the genus Pneumovirus, in the family Paramyxoviridae, which is characterized by the formation of syncytia in tissue culture. It causes minor respiratory infection with rhinitis and cough in adults, but is capable of causing severe bronchitis and bronchopneumonia in young children.

respiratory syncytial virus infectious disease

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection

Minute infectious agents whose genomes are composed of DNA or RNA, but not both. They are characterized by a lack of independent metabolism and the inability to replicate outside living host cells.

Viruses

Unidentified influenza virus is a species of ssRNA(-) virus in the family Orthomyxoviridae.

unidentified influenza virus

Influenza virus

Species of the genus BETAINFLUENZAVIRUS that cause HUMAN INFLUENZA and other diseases primarily in humans. Antigenic variation is less extensive than in type A viruses (INFLUENZA A VIRUS) and consequently there is no basis for distinct subtypes or variants. Epidemics are less likely than with INFLUENZA A VIRUS and there have been no pandemics. Previously only found in humans, Influenza B virus has been isolated from seals which may constitute the animal reservoir from which humans are exposed.

Influenza B virus

The type species of PNEUMOVIRUS and an important cause of lower respiratory disease in infants and young children. It frequently presents with bronchitis and bronchopneumonia and is further characterized by fever, cough, dyspnea, wheezing, and pallor.

human respiratory syncytial virus

Infection by an etiologic agent that can be passed between animals and humans.

Zoonotic Infection

Zoonotic infection

A social identity information content entity that is about whether some person identifies as some ethnicity.

ethnic identity information content entity

Ethnicity

a dataset that is about two or more emergency department visits involving two or more patients.

emergency department visit dataset

Emergency Department Visit

A social identity information content entity that is about whether some person identifies as some race.

racial identity information content entity

Race

An organismal quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's physical expression of sexual characteristics.

phenotypic sex

A count of emergency department visits in a population that is the number of emergency department visits that occurred during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident emergency department visit count

Incident Emergency Department Visit

age-stratified

Age-Stratified

Vaccine preventable diseases are those infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccination

vaccine-preventable Disease

Vaccine-Preventable Disease

An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the bearer of an infectious dispositions towards an organism of a different particular biological taxon.

pathogen

Pathogen

A data item that is an aggregate of other data items of the same type that have something in common. Averages and distributions can be determined for data sets.
