Abstract

En 中文

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of hospital admission for lower respiratory infection in infants worldwide, with more than 95% of deaths occurring in low-income and middle-income countries. Predictors of adverse outcomes following RSV hospitalisation remain poorly defined. We aimed to identify clinical and anthropometric predictors of mortality among infants admitted with RSV pneumonia and to assess changes in mortality over a 25-year surveillance period.
