Although overall attack rates were similar for Australia and Singapore, this finding highlights the geographic heterogeneity of influenza spread and suggests that latitude may be a critical predictor of susceptibility to influenza, which might be explained by increased efficiency of transmission of influenza in cold temperatures (25 ) or population levels of vitamin D stores (26 ).
Being able to classify by outcome would increase efficiency in searching sources such as clinical trial registries, patient registries, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) database of core outcome sets (COS), thus aiding knowledge discovery.
