ERRATUM In: Doshi P. Trends in recorded influenza mortality: United States, 1900–2004. Am J Public Health. 2008;98:939–945. doi: 10.2105/AJPH.2007.119933.

Data was incorrectly reported. On page 939, the first sentence in the "Results" section of the Abstract should read: An overall and substantial decline in influenza-classed mortality was observed during the 20th century, from an average seasonal rate of 10.2 deaths per 100 000 population in the 1940s to 0.44 per 100 000 by the 1990s.

Data was also incorrectly reported in 2 figures. On page 940, Figure 1 should be:

  		FIGURE 1— Crude mortality per 100 000 population, by influenza season (July to June of the following year), for seasons 1900–1901 to 2003–2004 (a) and 1930–1931 to 2003–2004 (b), United States.

Note. International Classification of Diseases (ICD) revision 1 was used from 1900 to 1909, revision 2 from 1910 to 1920, revision 3 from 1921 to 1929. Comparability ratios are unavailable for revisions 1 to 3. Beginning in 1930, influenza mortality rates have been adjusted for changes in ICD revisions to reflect conditions in the current ICD revision 10.
