Risk factors for severe respiratory syncytial virus infection during the first year of life: development and validation of a clinical prediction model
November 16 2023
Abstract
Novel immunisation methods against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are emerging, but knowledge of risk factors for severe RSV disease is insufficient for optimal targeting of interventions against them. The aim of this study is to identify predictors for RSV hospital admission from registry-based data and to develop and validate a clinical prediction model to guide RSV immunoprophylaxis for infants younger than 1 year.
