We found the discriminative capacity of the WHO ILI case definition that combines fever and cough was very close both in epidemic weeks and in all weeks (aDOR 2.20; 95% CI 1.90-2.54 and 2.69; 95% CI 2.42-2.99).

We found the discriminative capacity of the WHO ILI case definition that combines fever and cough was very close both in epidemic weeks and in all weeks (aDOR 2.20; 95% CI 1.90-2.54 and 2.69; 95% CI 2.42-2.99). In the review by Call et al. [13] , the DOR for the combination of fever and cough ranged between 6.6 (95% CI 4.2-10) in patients aged ≥60 years and 3.6 (95% CI 3.1-4.2) in all ages.
