Estimating the burden of RSV- and influenza-associated hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths across age and socioeconomic groups in New York State, 2005-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple prophylactic products are now available to protect against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in different age groups. Assessing the pre-intervention burden of RSV infections across various severity levels and risk groups is crucial, as it provides a baseline for evaluating the impact of these products.

Methods

We obtained monthly time series data on hospitalizations, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, and deaths by age group, ZIP code, and cause for New York state from 2005 to 2019. Socioeconomic status (SES) of the ZIP codes was classified using supervised principal component analysis (PCA). We estimated the incidence of hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths attributable to RSV and to influenza using hierarchical Bayesian regression models. Add
