Derivation and Validation of a Clinical Decision Guideline for Influenza Testing in Four U.S. Emergency Departments.
Abstract
Accurate diagnosis of influenza is essential for appropriate antiviral treatment in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. However, no clear guidance exists on whom should be tested. We sought to develop a clinical decision guideline (CDG) to inform influenza testing decisions for adult emergency department (ED) patients deemed appropriate for antiviral treatment by CDC guidelines.
