[h=1]Respiratory Viral Testing and Influenza Antiviral Prescriptions During Hospitalization for Acute Respiratory Illnesses.[/h] Rolfes MA[SUP]1[/SUP], Yousey-Hindes KM[SUP]2[/SUP], Meek JI[SUP]2[/SUP], Fry AM[SUP]3[/SUP], Chaves SS[SUP]3[/SUP].

[h=3]Abstract[/h] We examined respiratory viral testing and influenza antiviral prescriptions at a US tertiary care hospital. During the 2010-11 to 2012-13 influenza seasons, antiviral prescriptions among acute respiratory illness (ARI) hospitalizations were associated with viral testing (rate ratio = 15.0), and empiric prescriptions were rare (<1% of ARI hospitalizations).
