Numbers of patients that met the requirements for the RAVIOLI algorithm for monitoring respiratory virus–like illness, by pathogen category and week, Massachusetts, USA, October 2015–January 2024. A) October 2015–January 2024; B) January 2020–January 2024. Within each virus-specific category are counts of positive test results and diagnosis codes with a positive predictive value (PPV) ≥10% for that specific pathogen. The nonspecific category includes diagnosis codes with a PPV of ≥10% for any positive respiratory viral assay but PPV of <10% for any specific respiratory virus and includes measured fever >100°F.
