Off-season RSV episodes were more common among certain demographic groups and pediatric patients with high-risk conditions.
Researchers found that off-season respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) episodes occur across the United States and may be more common among certain demographic groups and pediatric patients with congenital or chronic conditions.
A study published in Open Forum Infectious Diseases identified characteristics of in-season (December-February) and off-season (June-August) RSV episodes in adults and children diagnosed with RSV infection in the pre-COVID-19 era (2017-2020).
- Patient demographic and baseline clinical characteristics were captured.
- Comorbidities associated with increased risk for severe disease were also considered.
