Impact of Acute Respiratory Infections on Medical Absenteeism Among Military Personnel: Retrospective Cohort Study Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are a significant challenge in military settings due to close communal living, which facilitates rapid transmission of pathogens. A variety of respiratory pathogens are involved in ARI, each varying in prevalence, severity and impact on organisational productivity. Understanding and mitigating the impact of ARI is critical for optimizing the health of military personnel and organisational productivity. Objective: This retrospective study of surveillance data aims to identify pathogens causing ARI among servicemen and pathogens contributing most to medical absenteeism (MA), defined as the combined duration of medical certificate (MC) and light duty (LD) issued. Methods: From September 2023 to August 2024, anonymous nasopharyngeal swabs (BioFire® FilmArray® Respiratory Panel) were collected from SAF servicemen presenting with ARI symptoms, after the doctor’s consultation, at a local military camp’s medical centre. The presence of fever and duration of MC/LD were self-reported by SAF servicemen. Results: A total of 1,095 nasopharyngeal swabs were collected, of which 608 (55.5%) tested positive. The commonest respiratory pathogen was human rhinovirus/enterovirus (HRV/HEV) (303 cases, 27.7%). The highest proportions of fever were observed in servicemen with influenza (62.8%), SARS-CoV-2 (34.3%) and parainfluenza (31.6%). The odds of influenza patients having fever was 5.80 times (p
