TL;DR
It is demonstrated that saliva is a useful specimen for influenza detection, and that the combination of saliva and NPS could improve the sensitivities of influenza RIDTs.

A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.

A head-to-head comparison for the detection of seasonal influenza types A and B, compared to laboratory-based tests found sensitivity was considerably lower than that seen for influenza A, although the number of specimens containing influenza B viruses was low.

Throat swab and saliva specimens are inferior to NP specimens for the detection of respiratory viruses but might be acceptable for screening in a setting where it is impractical to obtain an NP specimen.

Overall, the Veritor and Sofia tests were nearly as sensitive as RT-PCR and considerably more sensitive than Binax for detection of influenza viruses, however, the accuracy of the Sofia test was significantly lower than either Veritor or Binax.
