[h=1]Use of Influenza Risk Assessment Tool for Prepandemic Preparedness.[/h] Burke SA, Trock SC.
[h=3]Abstract[/h] In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began to develop an Influenza Risk Assessment Tool (IRAT) to methodically capture and assess information relating to influenza A viruses not currently circulating among humans. The IRAT uses a multiattribute, additive model to generate a summary risk score for each virus. Although the IRAT is not intended to predict the next pandemic influenza A virus, it has provided input into prepandemic preparedness decisions.
