Summer Hospitalization and Bronchial Asthma Make Treatment of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection Difficult: A Retrospective Study in Japan.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, epidemics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) have been seen in the summer in Japan. Patients hospitalized in the summer used a high-flow oxygen administration device more frequently than patients hospitalized in the winter. This study was a retrospective study to examine the variables associated with duration of oxygen therapy and severe cases. Subjects were pediatric patients diagnosed with RSV infection and hospitalized for treatment during the 5 years from April 2014 to March 2019. Data from 292 patients were analyzed. Duration of oxygen therapy was significantly associated with bronchial asthma (partial regression coefficient: 0.897, P = .004). Hospitalization in summer was significantly associated with severe condition (adjusted odds ratio: 4.07, 95% confidence interval: 1.16-14.27). The present study showed that bronchial asthma is a risk factor for prolonged oxygen therapy and infection in summer is a risk factor for progression to severe condition in cases of RSV infection.

Project description:Identifying child age of RSV infection associated with increased risk of asthma is important for developing asthma prevention strategies. Our systematic review aimed to comprehensively summarize studies of the association between age of RSV infection and childhood asthma risk. The study protocol was pre-registered, and our study report adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Inclusion criteria were prospective and retrospective cohort studies and case-control studies which assessed the association of age of RSV infection before age 2 years and risk of childhood asthma after age two years. Relevant studies were identified through MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane and International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) from study inception through May 5, 2023. Studies were evaluated with the Quality In Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool. From 149 studies screened, five studies (two prospective cohort studies and three retrospective cohort studies) were included in our systematic review, including 47,603 participants. Available studies only assessed age of severe RSV infection and asthma risk. The included studies used different age categories and outcome definitions, and were rated as having high risk of bias. Two studies had sample sizes of less than 300 and did not provide conclusive results related to age of RSV hospitalization and asthma risk. The other three studies reported RSV hospitalization between age 6 months and 23 months compared with age 0-6 months being associated with a higher odds ratio, hazard ratio, or incidence rate ratio of asthma diagnosis/hospitalization. Due to the heterogeneous epidemiological designs, including exposures and outcome ascertainments of the included studies, we could not perform a meta-analysis, or calculate weighted averages of the effect estimates. Our systematic review highlights a major gap in our knowledge about the relationship between age of RSV infection and asthma risk.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Respiratory viral infection in early childhood, including that from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), has been previously associated with the development of asthma. OBJECTIVE:We aimed to determine whether ex vivo RSV infection of bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) from children with asthma would induce specific gene expression patterns and whether such patterns were associated with lung function among BEC donors. METHODS:Primary BECs from carefully characterized children with asthma (n = 18) and matched healthy children without asthma (n = 8) were differentiated at an air-liquid interface for 21 days. Air-liquid interface cultures were infected with RSV for 96 hours and RNA was subsequently isolated from BECs. In each case, we analyzed gene expression using RNA sequencing and assessed differences between conditions by linear modeling of the data. BEC donors completed spirometry to measure lung function. RESULTS:RSV infection of BECs from subjects with asthma, compared with uninfected BECs from subjects with asthma, led to a significant increase in expression of 6199 genes. There was significantly greater expression of 195 genes in BECs from children with asthma and airway obstruction (FEV1/forced vital capacity < 0.85 and FEV1 < 100% predicted) than in BECs from children with asthma without obstruction, or in BECs from healthy children. These specific genes were found to be highly enriched for viral response genes induced in parallel with types I and III interferons. CONCLUSIONS:BECs from children with asthma and with obstructive physiology exhibit greater expression of types I and III interferons and interferon-stimulated genes than do cells from children with normal lung function, and expression of interferon-associated genes correlates with the degree of airway obstruction. These findings suggest that an exaggerated interferon response to viral infection by airway epithelial cells may be a mechanism leading to lung function decline in a subset of children with asthma.

Project description:ImportanceRespiratory 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.ObjectiveTo assess absolute risk of 28-day, all-cause hospitalization following outpatient MA-RSV infections in adults.Design, setting, and participantsIn 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, TriNetX Linked, and Veradigm Network EHR [VNEHR] database linked with claims) were analyzed separately across 6 RSV years (October 1, 2016, to September 30, 2022) in adults with commercial or government insurance. Outpatient (eg, clinics and emergency departments) MA-RSV infections were identified based on clinical laboratory data or RSV-specific International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) diagnosis codes. Data were analyzed from March 2023 to April 2024.Main outcomes and measuresThe main outcome was all-cause 28-day hospitalization following outpatient MA-RSV infections among all adults and a high-risk subgroup (defined as age ≥65 years or with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], or congestive heart failure [CHF]).ResultsIn this cohort study of 67 239 MA-RSV infections in adults (2771 from Optum, 7442 from TriNetX, and 57 026 from VNEHR), most occurred among females (62%-67%) and comorbidity prevalences were 20.0% to 30.5% for COPD, 14.6% to 24.4% for CHF, 14.6% to 24.4% for asthma; 14.0% to 54.5% of individuals were aged 65 years or older. The proportion hospitalized was 6.2% (95% CI, 5.3%-7.1%) in Optum, 6.0% (95% CI, 5.4% to 6.5%) in TriNetX, and 4.5% (95% CI, 4.3%-4.6%) in VNEHR. Among the high-risk subgroup, the proportion hospitalized was 7.6% (95% CI, 6.5%-8.9%) in Optum, 8.5% (95% CI, 7.6%-9.4%) in TriNetX, and 6.5% (95% CI, 6.2%-6.8%) in VNEHR.Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study of adults with outpatient MA-RSV infections from 3 large deidentified US databases across 6 RSV seasons, approximately 1 in 20 adults experienced all-cause hospitalization within 28 days. The results of this study highlight the public health need for RSV prevention and treatment.

Project description:BackgroundInfection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is common among young children insured through Medicaid in the United States. Complete and timely dosing with palivizumab is associated with lower risk of RSV-related hospitalizations, but up to 60% of infants who receive palivizumab in Medicaid population do not receive full prophylaxis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of partial palivizumab prophylaxis with the risk of RSV hospitalization among high-risk Medicaid-insured infants.MethodsClaims data from 12 states during 6 RSV seasons (October 1st to April 30th in the first year of life in 2003-2009) were analyzed. Inclusion criteria were birth hospital discharge before October 1st, continuous insurance eligibility from birth through April 30th, ≥ one palivizumab administration from August 1st to end of season, and high-risk status (≤34 weeks gestational age or chronic lung disease of prematurity [CLDP] or hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease [CHD]). Fully prophylaxed infants received the first palivizumab dose by November 30th with no gaps >35 days up to the first RSV-related hospitalization or end of follow-up. All other infants were categorized as partially prophylaxed.ResultsOf the 8,443 high-risk infants evaluated, 67% (5,615) received partial prophylaxis. Partially prophylaxed infants were more likely to have RSV-related hospitalization than fully prophylaxed infants (11.7% versus 7.9%, p< 0.001). RSV-related hospitalization rates ranged from 8.5% to 24.8% in premature, CHD, and CLDP infants with partial prophylaxis. After adjusting for potential confounders, logistic regression showed that partially prophylaxed infants had a 21% greater odds of hospitalization compared with fully prophylaxed infants (odds ratio 1.21, 95% confidence interval 1.09-1.34).ConclusionsRSV-related hospitalization rates were significantly higher in high-risk Medicaid infants with partial palivizumab prophylaxis compared with fully prophylaxed infants. These findings suggest that reduced and/or delayed dosing is less effective.
