Odds Ratios of Secondary Outcomes for Influenza Patients who Present Without Fever After Adjustment for Age (<65 Years or ≥65 Years), Sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index Score, Risk Factors for Influenza Complications, Immunosuppression, and Duration of Illness (<3 Days or ≥3 Days)
Outcomes | aOR (95% CI) | P Value |
---|---|---|
Diagnostic testing in EDa | 0.51 (0.34–0.76) | <.001 |
Oseltamivir treatment | 0.51 (0.34–0.75) | <.001 |
Intensive care unit stayb | 1.13 (0.59–2.16) | .709 |
30-d re-presentation | 0.97 (0.51–1.84) | .927 |
In-hospital mortality | 6.36 (1.22–33.2) | .028 |
An OR <1 indicates less likely to have a specified outcome. Full models are included in Supplementary Tables 1–5.
Abbreviations: aOR, adjusted odds ratio; ED, emergency department; ICU, intensive care unit; PCR, polymerase chain reaction.
aRespiratory PCR testing performed before patient transfer from emergency department to inpatient ward.
