Bias in control selection associated with the use of rapid tests in influenza vaccine effectiveness studies
In TND studies using rapid tests, reduced sensitivity affects both case-control classification and control group exclusions, potentially causing bias. New methods for these biases could help to adapt participatory cohorts for the monitoring of VE for influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus.
