This study describes the clinical characteristics and outcomes of hospitalized patients with 2009 H1N1 influenza in a large, acute care, tertiary hospital in Singapore. Of the 265 hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed 2009 influenza A (H1N1) during the height of the H1N1 flu pandemic, 13 % (35) suffered severe outcomes including a mortality rate of 4.5 % (12). Severe outcomes were associated with patients aged 40 years or more, underlying comorbidities, and complicated by pneumonia.
