Hospitalization Following Outpatient Diagnosis of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of acute respiratory tract infections among adults and is estimated to cause approximately 159 000 hospitalizations among adults aged 65 years and older in the US each year. Estimates of hospitalization among adults with outpatient medically attended RSV (MA-RSV) infections are required to design interventional studies that aim to prevent hospitalization.

Objective

To assess absolute risk of 28-day, all-cause hospitalization following outpatient MA-RSV infections in adults.

Design, setting, and participants

In this cohort study, data from 3 different deidentified databases containing electronic health records (EHR) linked to closed claims data (Optum's deidentified Integrated Claims-Clinical dataset, TriN
