Year, year of study; RDT, rapid diagnostic testing; ILI, influenza-like illness (fever plus cough or sore throat); RT-PCR, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction; N/A, not available; ^†weighted number, i.e., the figure with decimal point was used in the original study as it was weighted by an inverse of the probability of being sampled to account for oversampling of households with suspected transmission.
