Figure 1 - Summary of studies assessing proportion of norovirus (NoV)-positive fecal samples among persons with community and outpatient cases of sporadic diarrhea (all ages). *Lau et al. (13), O’Ryan et al. (18), Monica et al. (33), and Sdiri-Loulizi et al. (34) included outpatient and emergency department/hospital patients, but only outpatient data are included in this figure. †Pooled proportion calculated by using the random effects model (DerSimonian and Laird method, StatsDirect L

Figure 1. Summary of studies assessing proportion of norovirus (NoV)-positive fecal samples among persons with community and outpatient cases of sporadic diarrhea (all ages). *Lau et al. (13), O’Ryan et al. (18), Monica et al. (33), and Sdiri-Loulizi et al. (34) included outpatient and emergency department/hospital patients, but only outpatient data are included in this figure. †Pooled proportion calculated by using the random effects model (DerSimonian and Laird method, StatsDirect Ltd, Cheshire, UK). For studies that included controls, prevalence of NoV among controls was subtracted from prevalence of NoV among case-patients. CI, confidence interval.
