Résumé

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is associated with significant morbidity in infants. Risk factors for severe disease beyond the first 2 years of life have not been fully defined. Children <5 years hospitalized with virologically confirmed RSV infection were identified over six respiratory seasons (10/2012-4/2018) and their medical records manually reviewed. Multivariable analyses were performed to define the age-specific (<6, 6-24, and >24-59 months) risk factors associated with oxygen administration, PICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and duration of hospitalization. We identified 5143 children hospitalized with RSV infection: 53.5% (n = 2749) <6 months; 31.7% (n = 1631) 6-24 months; and 14.8% (n = 763) >24-59 months. Rates of ICU admission were high (35%-36%) and comparable across age groups, while children >24-59 and 6-24 versus those <6 months required supplemental oxygen more frequently (73%; 71%; 68%, respectively; p = .003). The presence of comorbidities increased with age (25%, <6 months; 46%, 6-24 months; 70%, >24-59 months; p < .001). Specifically, neuromuscular disorders, chronic lung disease, and reactive airway disease/asthma were predictive of worse clinical outcomes in children aged 6-24 and >24-59 months, while RSV-viral codetections increased the risk of severe outcomes in children aged <6 and 6-24 months of age. Almost half of children hospitalized with RSV infection were >6 months. Underlying comorbidities increased with age and remained associated with severe disease in older children, while RSV-viral codetections were predictive of worse clinical outcomes in the youngest age groups. These data suggest the importance of defining the clinical phenotype associated with severe RSV according to age, and the persistent burden associated with RSV beyond infancy.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is associated with significant morbidity in infants. Risk factors for severe disease beyond the first 2 years of life have not been fully defined.
METHODS METHODS
Children <5 years hospitalized with virologically confirmed RSV infection were identified over six respiratory seasons (10/2012-4/2018) and their medical records manually reviewed. Multivariable analyses were performed to define the age-specific (<6, 6-24, and >24-59 months) risk factors associated with oxygen administration, PICU admission, mechanical ventilation, and duration of hospitalization.
RESULTS RESULTS
We identified 5143 children hospitalized with RSV infection: 53.5% (n = 2749) <6 months; 31.7% (n = 1631) 6-24 months; and 14.8% (n = 763) >24-59 months. Rates of ICU admission were high (35%-36%) and comparable across age groups, while children >24-59 and 6-24 versus those <6 months required supplemental oxygen more frequently (73%; 71%; 68%, respectively; p = .003). The presence of comorbidities increased with age (25%, <6 months; 46%, 6-24 months; 70%, >24-59 months; p < .001). Specifically, neuromuscular disorders, chronic lung disease, and reactive airway disease/asthma were predictive of worse clinical outcomes in children aged 6-24 and >24-59 months, while RSV-viral codetections increased the risk of severe outcomes in children aged <6 and 6-24 months of age.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Almost half of children hospitalized with RSV infection were >6 months. Underlying comorbidities increased with age and remained associated with severe disease in older children, while RSV-viral codetections were predictive of worse clinical outcomes in the youngest age groups. These data suggest the importance of defining the clinical phenotype associated with severe RSV according to age, and the persistent burden associated with RSV beyond infancy.
