Hospitalizations associated with respiratory syncytial virus and influenza in children, including children diagnosed with asthma.
This study examined hospitalization rates in children associated with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza, including children with asthma. HCUP hospitalization data and additional data to estimate RSV and influenza-associated hospitalization with a respiratory cause was analyzed in different subpopulations of US children between 2003 and 2010. Annual rates of RSV-associated hospitalization was highest in infants and young children, and declined rapidly with age. Influenza hospitalizations also were highest in young children and declined by age 12-17 years. Higher rates of RSV-related and influenza hospitalization in the youngest children with a prior diagnosis of asthma was also found.
