Respiratory Syncytial Virus Risk Profile in Hospitalized Infants and Comparison with Influenza and COVID-19 Controls in Valladolid, Spain, 2010-2022.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We aimed to describe the risk profile of RSV infections among children aged ≤ 24 months in Valladolid from January 2010 to August 2022 and to compare them with influenza and COVID-19 controls.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all laboratory-confirmed RSV, influenza, and COVID-19 infections. We analyzed risk factors for RSV hospitalization and severity (length-of-stay ≥ 8 days, intensive-care-unit admission, in-hospital death or readmission < 30 days) and compared severity between hospitalized RSV patients vs. influenza and COVID-19 controls using multivariable logistic regression models.

Results

We included 1507 patients with RSV (1274 inpatient), 32 with influenza, and 52 COVID-19 controls. Hospitalized RSV (mean age 5.3 months) and C
