Comparative Clinical Outcomes of Major Respiratory Viruses in Hospitalized Adults During the Post-Pandemic Period: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the post-pandemic era, respiratory viruses continue to cause substantial morbidity and mortality among hospitalized adults. SARS-CoV-2 and influenza remain the most common pathogens, while RSV and rhinovirus have re-emerged as relevant causes of severe illness. This study compared the characteristics and outcomes of virus-specific infections detected by multiplex real-time PCR over two consecutive seasons.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a 1010-bed tertiary-care hospital in Türkiye between June 2022 and June 2024. Adults hospitalized with at least one respiratory virus detected by MRT-PCR were included. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were analyzed. Pathogen-specific comparisons were limited to monoinfections, and predictors
