The Impact of Pulmonary Hypertension on Hospitalization Risk in Adults with Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection can lead to significant complications, particularly among those with underlying cardiovascular and pulmonary complications. Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) are susceptible to clinical deterioration triggered by respiratory infections due to their limited cardiopulmonary reserve. This study aimed to assess the risk of hospitalization in RSV-infected adults with and without PH. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the research network TriNetX to assess the risk of hospitalization in a cohort of patients with RSV infection, comparing those with and without PH. Propensity score matching was performed for demographic variables and RSV risk factors between the two cohorts. The risk of h
