Homeless patients experienced a higher rate of hospitalization for influenza than non-homeless persons throughout the observation period (Fig. 1) . The difference was particularly salient for the pandemic of H1N1 influenza in 2009: hospitalization rates were 2.9 per 1000 for homeless versus 0.1 per 1000 for non-homeless populations. Using the population-based data, including all hospitalizations for influenza in New York, we found that homeless persons had higher utilization of care compared with non-homeless persons.	./cache/cord-266266-ekxnn9bo.txt	./txt/cord-266266-ekxnn9bo.txt
