Abstract

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).
