Canadian Arbovirus Hospitalizations and Deaths from 2002-2023

Hospitalization and mortality data for mosquito-transmitted arboviruses in Canada, recorded in the Discharge Abstract Database between 2002 and 2023. The 9.5 KB Excel file, authored by Maria Elizabeth Mitri and last updated in April 2026, provides counts and proportions by disease.

Use Cases

• Modeling disease burden trends based on hospitalization and death counts over time.
• Comparing the relative impact of different arboviruses based on the proportion of cases.
• Analyzing the public health impact of mosquito-borne diseases based on national hospital discharge data.

Strengths

• Covers a 22-year time range from 2002 to 2023.
• Data is sourced from the national Discharge Abstract Database (DAD).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
