Table 8.

Regression analysis for the outcome variables represented by Influenza-Like Illnesses (ILI) estimates and main assessed keywords from Google TrendsTM, and topics from Italian Wikipedia, that in univariate analysis were associated by Spearman’s test p < 0.001. Analyses were performed by total sample (i.e., Total), and age groups 0–4 years, and 5–14 years.
