Mortality Associated With Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus in the US, 1999-2018

Chelsea L. Hansen et al.

Summary: This study evaluated excess mortality from RSV and influenza in the US from 1999 to 2018, finding that RSV poses a greater risk to infants while influenza is associated with substantial mortality among elderly individuals.

The Use of Death Certificate Data to Characterize Mortality Associated With Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Unspecified Bronchiolitis, and Influenza in the United States, 1999-2018

Chelsea L. Hansen et al.

Summary: This study analyzed death certificate data from 1999 to 2018 to understand the mortality burden associated with RSV and influenza. The findings showed that RSV and bronchiolitis deaths primarily occurred in children under 1 year old, while influenza deaths were more common in adults aged 65 and above. The study also found that infants were more likely to die outside of the hospital from respiratory pathogens compared to other causes, and race/ethnicity alone did not explain this disparity.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus During the COVID-19 Pandemic Compared to Historic Levels: A Retrospective Cohort Study of a Health System

Naimisha Movva et al.

Summary: The research showed significant changes in the incidence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) respiratory infections in infants during COVID-19, with different patterns across various healthcare settings, and the emergence of interseasonal disease. It is important to continue monitoring the epidemiology of RSV to understand its impact on healthcare resources and public health policy.

Mortality Among US Infants and Children Under 5 Years of Age with Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Bronchiolitis: A Systematic Literature Review

Lauren C. Bylsma et al.

Summary: A systematic literature review was conducted to summarize the mortality rates of US infants and children aged <5 years with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or all-cause bronchiolitis (ACB). The study found that the reported RSV mortality rates vary greatly and there is a need for nationally representative estimates for otherwise healthy, late-preterm to full-term infants and children.

Impact of Respiratory Syncytial Virus on Child, Caregiver, and Family Quality of Life in the United States: Systematic Literature Review and Analysis( )

Elizabeth L. Glaser et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed and analyzed the burden of illness from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) among infants. The results indicated that RSV reduces the quality of life of children, caregivers, and families. However, the existing data mainly focus on hospitalized premature infants, and more research is needed for full-term healthy children.

Summary: This systematic literature review examines RSV testing patterns and finds that not all infants and children with LRTI are tested for RSV, leading to an underestimation of the RSV burden in all settings.

Medically Attended Illness due to Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection Among Infants Born in the United States Between 2016 and 2020

Jason R. Gantenberg et al.

Summary: RSV is a major cause of infant hospitalization in the United States. While preterm infants and those with specific comorbidities are at high risk, 80% of RSV infections occur in term infants without comorbidities. Future prevention efforts should target all infants.

Cost of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections in US Infants: Systematic Literature Review and Analysis

Diana M. Bowser et al.

Summary: This study examines the economic costs of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections among infants and young children in the United States. The findings suggest that public sources bear the majority of the medical costs associated with infants' RSV treatment, and full-term infants account for the majority of RSV hospitalizations and costs.

Inequalities in Health Impact of Alternative Reimbursement Pathways for Nirsevimab in the United States

Gabriela B. Gomez et al.

Summary: The target populations and financing mechanisms for a new health technology may affect health inequalities in access and impact. Using alternative reimbursement pathway scenarios, we projected the distributional consequences of introducing nirsevimab for prevention of respiratory syncytial virus. The vaccine pathway would cover 32% more infants than a pharmaceutical pathway and have greater benefits in reducing hospitalizations and emergency room visits, especially for publicly insured infants.

Mortality Associated With Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Bronchiolitis, and Influenza Among Infants in the United States: A Birth Cohort Study From 1999 to 2018

Heidi Reichert et al.

Summary: This study describes the mortality rate of infants in the United States due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The highest mortality rates were observed among infants with a gestational age of less than 29 weeks, American Indian/Alaskan Native infants, and Medicaid-insured infants. However, the burden of RSV mortality was greatest in full-term infants, white infants, and Medicaid-insured infants.

Lisa Staadegaard et al.

Summary: The study found that RSV epidemics mainly occur in winter in most temperate countries, lasting 10-21 weeks. More variation in seasonality was observed in (sub)tropical countries, with substantial differences at a subnational level. There was no clear association between epidemic timing and the dominant RSV subtype.
