Influenza diagnosis codes had high specificity (98.6%) and modest positive predictive value (PPV; 84.1%) and sensitivity (86.1%) for a laboratory-confirmed...

There is a lack of data on the out-of-hospital burden of acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in developed countries.

We identified several novel candidate genes which warrant further analysis in cohorts matched more precisely for clinical phenotypes.
