Respective roles of non-pharmaceutical interventions in bronchiolitis outbreaks: an interrupted time-series analysis based on a multinational surveillance system

Lea Lenglart et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on bronchiolitis outbreaks in 14 European countries. The study found that measures such as full lockdown, school closure, teleworking, and wearing masks indoors were associated with a reduction in bronchiolitis cases. These public health interventions can help alleviate the global burden of bronchiolitis.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on community respiratory virus activity

Eric J. Chow et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected global respiratory virus infections, with varying degrees of changes seen in different virus types. Non-pharmaceutical interventions have been implemented by governments, with differences observed after the availability of COVID-19 vaccines. Reductions in respiratory virus infections have resulted in decreased hospitalizations and deaths associated with these infections.

Clinical Burden of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Hospitalized Children Aged ≤5 Years (INSPIRE Study)

Katrin Hartmann et al.

Summary: This retrospective study investigated the incidence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in hospitalized children from 2015 to 2018. The results showed that RSV infection resulted in prolonged hospital stay and ICU admission, particularly in preterm infants and children aged 0 to <6 months.

Global, regional, and national disease burden estimates of acute lower respiratory infections due to respiratory syncytial virus in children younger than 5 years in 2019: a systematic analysis

You Li et al.

Summary: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) plays a significant role in morbidity and mortality burden globally in children aged 0-60 months, especially during the first 6 months of life and in low-income and middle-income countries. Passive immunization programs targeting RSV could have a substantial effect on reducing disease burden.

Reduced spread of influenza and other respiratory viral infections during the COVID-19 pandemic in southern Puerto Rico

Talia M. Quandelacy et al.

Summary: This study compared the testing and test-positivity rates of respiratory infections in southern Puerto Rico during the 2019-2020 respiratory season to previous seasons from 2012-2018. The results showed that the test-positivity rates for various respiratory viruses significantly decreased after the implementation of COVID-19 mitigation measures and social distancing. This suggests that these measures may have successfully reduced the spread of respiratory viruses in southern Puerto Rico.

Summary: This study conducted a comprehensive assessment of the burden of adult respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the United States and found that the burden has been underestimated, particularly among older adults and individuals with chronic medical conditions. The study suggests that the development of a highly effective adult RSV vaccine would have significant public health impact.

Lifting non-pharmaceutical interventions following the COVID-19 pandemic - the quiet before the storm?

Kyu-Bin Oh et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as lockdowns and mask wearing have not only slowed the spread of COVID-19, but also reduced the circulation of other infectious diseases. However, the prolonged implementation of NPIs has had unintended consequences, including decreased immunity and lower vaccination coverage for other diseases.

Clinical and Socioeconomic Burden of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Iceland

Ymir Oskarsson et al.

Summary: The clinical and socioeconomic burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in Iceland is substantial, despite slightly lower hospital admission rates compared to other high-income countries. Prevention of RSV in young children has the potential to decrease both the clinical and financial impact of annual epidemics.

Retrospective observational study of the influence of the COVID-19 outbreak on infants' hospitalisation for acute bronchiolitis

Laura Berdah et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 period, there was a 54.3% reduction in hospitalisations for bronchiolitis with a delayed peak in February. Clinical characteristics and hospitalisation courses were similar, but there were differences in the proportions of infants with comorbidities, need for oxygen, and viral infections.

Determinants of self-reported adherence to COVID-19 regulations in Spain: social norms, trust and risk perception

Pablo Cabrera-Alvarez et al.

Summary: The voluntary compliance of individuals with COVID-19 regulations and recommendations is crucial in curbing the spread of the virus. Factors such as social norms, trust in science, perceived effectiveness of regulations, and perception of risk of infection are found to be positively associated with compliance. The results emphasize the importance of influencing social norms in improving adherence to health regulations related to COVID-19.

Summary: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes a significant burden of hospitalization in the US, particularly among infants and older adults. The incidence is higher among infants of low socioeconomic status and varies among different socioeconomic groups. Recorded diagnoses underestimate the incidence of RSV hospitalization, especially in older adults.

Simon N. Williams et al.

Summary: The study explores participants' perceptions of non-adherence to COVID-19 policy measures in the UK, focusing on reasons for non-adherence. Findings show an increase in non-adherence in others during the pandemic, with reasons including alert fatigue, inconsistent rules, lack of trust in government, learned helplessness, resistance and rebelliousness, and the impact of vaccines on risk perception. Participants highlighted systemic failures such as unclear policies and untrustworthy policymakers contributing to non-adherence.

Robert Cohen et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the incidence of many viral and bacterial infections in children, leading to a positive short-term effect of preventing healthcare system overload. However, the reduced exposure to pathogens and vaccination rates may result in a potential immunity debt and increase the risk of future epidemics when non-pharmaceutical interventions are lifted.
