2Responders: N = 69; Non-responders: N = 48

3Responders are defined as patients responding that they have returned to their usual health or usual activities at Day 7.

4Analysis of covariance was used to compare changes in FLU-PRO scores at day 7 in responders and non-responders, adjusting for day 1 scores.
