\r\n\t\"Surveillance

\r\n

\r\n\tSurveillance area for population based surveillance is Metropolitan Toronto and the Region of Peel (population ~4 milion). In addition, hospitals and laboratories in the 5 surrounding regions (Halton, Hamilton, Durham, Simcoe and York) also report to the study enabling us to identify cases from our defined population area that may be admitted to hospitals in other regions. Additional cases from these regions are included when research questions do not require a defined population base and increased sample sizes are beneficial.
