Download EMBASE unique records on swine flu The following search strategy was set up in EMBASE.com: swine AND (flu OR influenza) OR h1n1 OR "s oiv" OR "mexican flu" OR "mexican influenza" Please note this search strategy differs slightly from the current search strategy in PubMed. The most important differences are: (1) (2) (3) (4)
"Outbreak" and "pandemic" are omitted; these terms retrieve other swine pandemics. "Virus" is omitted as it retrieves other swine viruses. "H1N1" is considered sufficient to generate relevant hits in its own right In-process records are not yet available in EMBASE.com
We retrieved 245 hits in EMBASE.com, of which an estimated 20% were not retrieved using the related PubMed profile - in part due to differences in the profile, but in part (5%) due to retrieval of records from journals unique to EMBASE. The complete EMBASE.com list may be downloaded here. The term "s oiv" (swine origin influenza virus) and the Mexican terms do not yet contribute any unique hits, they were added to the search because some countries refer to the disease as Mexican flu. Our search was was limited to records from the 01st Jan 2009 to May. Going forward, this list will be updated each month to provide a continuing overview of all swine flu records added to EMBASE.com since January 2009.
