[h=3]Abstract[/h] The cobas[SUP]?[/SUP] Liat[SUP]?[/SUP] influenza A/B & RSV assay (Liat) was used in the adult Emergency Department of a large London Hospital from 21/1/18-14/4/18. Influenza was detected in 308/1027 (30%) of samples tested; influenza A in 157 (15.3%) and influenza B in 149 (14.5%) and RSV in 28 (2.7%). When compared against Fast Track Diagnostics Respiratory Pathogens 21 multiplex PCR and Cepheid Xpert? Xpress Flu/RSV assay, Liat performance for the detection of influenza A or B was: sensitivity 85% (95% CI, 76-92), specificity 98% (95% CI, 97-99), negative predictive value 94% (95% CI, 92-96), positive predictive value 95% (95% CI, 91-97).
