2023 Respiratory Viruses Response – National Syndromic Surveillance Program Emergency Department Visit Trajectories - COVID-19, Flu, RSV, Combined – by state. This dataset provides the percentage of emergency department patient visits for the specified pathogen of all ED patient visits for the specified geography that were observed for the given week from data submitted to the National Syndromic Surveillance Program (NSSP). In addition, the trend over time both as of the given row date and as of the most current data submitted is characterized as increasing, decreasing or stable to provide awareness of how the weekly trend is changing for the given geographic region. For the emergency department time series, trajectory classifications reported on the opening page are based on rolling regression model assessments of the slope for each respiratory illness. Weeks with a significant time term (p <0.05) are classified as increasing when the slope is positive and decreasing when the slope is negative. Weeks with a non-significant time term (p ≥ 0.05) are classified as stable. A 3-week moving average is applied to the time series prior to the regression procedure in order to smooth week-to-week variation.
