Assessment

Primary outcomes

Threshold value based on logistic regression and ROC analysis using specific antibody titer against influenza virus antigen and success/failure of virus isolation test

Key secondary outcomes

Sensitivity, specificity, and ROC-AUC were determined by logistic regression and ROC analysis using specific antibody titers against influenza virus antigens and the success or failure of virus isolation tests.

Results

The correlation between mucosal antibody titers and virological markers was generally weak, and it was difficult to determine a clear antibody threshold for suppressing infectivity based on this cohort alone. However, by estimating late-stage antibody titers based on early-stage titers, we were able to derive estimated thresholds corresponding to increases in antibody titers and the transition to negative viral isolation.

Outcome measures

Indicators of viral load: viral RNA copy number, success or failure of virus isolation testing, and viral titer
Indicators of viral classification: viral subtype and viral genome
Immunological assessment parameters for the virus: levels of specific antibodies (IgG, IgA, secretory IgA)
Correction factors for specimen collection: total antibody levels (IgG, IgA, secretory IgA)
Correlation between viral load and immunological assessment parameters
As a subanalysis, we will evaluate the basic statistics, confidence intervals, and correlations of the above parameters by stratifying the data according to the number of days since diagnosis, the number of days since onset, viral subtype, severity of the seven influenza symptoms, history of influenza infection, and vaccination history.
For cases in which a single infection resulted in multiple study participations, the correlation between the number of days from onset until negative viral isolation and negative viral RNA results, and the response of specific antibodies (IgG, IgA, secretory IgA) to influenza antigens
As a subanalysis, we will evaluate the basic statistics, confidence intervals, and correlations for the above items, stratified by the date of symptom resolution, by viral subtype, by the severity of the seven influenza symptoms, by history of influenza infection, and by vaccination history.
Reproducibility and accuracy of immunological assessment items
