ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare demographic characteristics, clinical features, and outcomes of children hospitalized with RSV, influenza, or SARS-CoV-2 during their co-circulation 2021-2022 respiratory virus season METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using Colorado's hospital respiratory surveillance data comparing COVID-19-, influenza-, and RSV-hospitalized cases < 18 years of age admitted and undergoing standardized molecular testing between October 1, 2021, and April 30, 2022.
