Clinical Predictors of Influenza in Young Children: The Limitations of “Influenza-Like Illness”	2012-09-03		.txt	text/plain	3741	186	44	This study aims to identify clinical predictors of influenza infection in children ≤5 years old from which age-specific ILI definitions are then constructed. METHODS: Children aged 6–59 months with a history of fever and acute respiratory symptoms were recruited in the Western Australia Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness (WAIVE) Study. The predictor variables of interest fell into 2 groups: (1) demographic factors (age, sex, race [indigenous or other], deprivation quintile, influenza vaccination status, prematurity [<37 completed weeks gestation], birth weight, past medical history, child care usage, household composition, and household smokers); and (2) symptomatology (recorded temperature and presence or absence of parentally reported: cough, coryza, wheeze, breathing difficulties, earache, sinusitis, sore throat, irritability, rash, diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy, poor feeding, sleep disturbance, fever, and pallor). To our knowledge, this is the first study attempting to construct a definition of ILI for children aged 5 years and under using prospectively gathered data from a general pediatric population presenting with symptoms suggestive of acute respiratory tract infection.	./cache/cord-309860-otx45b8x.txt	./txt/cord-309860-otx45b8x.txt
