Only a handful of studies have evaluated the effectiveness of the criteria by including both SARI-positive and SARI-negative patients, allowing them to calculate the diagnostic accuracy of the criteria for detecting flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] . The age distribution differences likely explain these discrepancies as our cohort consists only of children under two years, and the SARI criteria were the least sensitive (15.9%) and most specific (80.5%) for detecting flu in our patients under three months, who make up 45.4% of our study population.	./cache/cord-254313-g2oc32dm.txt	./txt/cord-254313-g2oc32dm.txt
