Snippet: Limitations of this study are that we analyzed only a small number of MERS outbreaks in specific cities and that we evaluated these outbreaks retrospectively. However, this approach was required to compare our search query results with cases that have been reported in the literature.

Document: Limitations of this study are that we analyzed only a small number of MERS outbreaks in specific cities and that we evaluated these outbreaks retrospectively. However, this approach was required to compare our search query results with cases that have been reported in the literature. In addition, we compared the timing of UpToDate MERS searches with the timing of onset of illness because the majority of cases reported in the literature were classified by date of onset of illness rather than by date of laboratory diagnosis [11, 12] . Using these dates, it was not possible to determine whether UpToDate searches were able to detect a signal before the reporting of cases to public health authorities.
