Table 9.
Multivariable random-effects negative binomial models for relationship between daily total captured cough counts (in 3 waiting areas only) and total clinical influenza tests. Model adjusted for total population in waiting areas, day-of-week effects, and clustering by waiting area and calendar date.
Total Influenza tests | IRR | p-value | 95% CI |
---|---|---|---|
Daily cough count | 1.0026 | <0.001 | 1.0017 - 1.0034 |
Waiting area | |||
Walk-In 1 | (reference) | - | - |
Walk-In 2 | 1.62 | <0.001 | 1.28 - 2.03 |
Pediatric | 1.84 | <0.001 | 1.38 - 2.44 |
Note: IRR = Incidence rate ratio.
