Hamrin J, Bennet R, Berner J, et al. - Researchers sought to describe hospitalization rates, risk factors and complications of severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in 2008‐2016 compared with 1986‐1998. They assessed microbiological laboratory reports and conducted retrospective chart review.  In infants, the population‐based rate of hospital admission increased by 12.3% for RSV infection from 12.2/1,000 to 13.7/1,000. Including all children < 5 years, a 48% rise was noted from 2.7 to 4.0/1,000. A decrease in the necessity for intensive care was noted in healthy infants but it remained high in older children with comorbidity. Given the changing testing routines in the two periods, it seems that the rate of hospital admission of infants for RSV infection remain unchanged throughout the studied years. Observations indicated a rise in the rates of older children with confirmed RSV, which is likely due to raised testing of children with risk factors for a complicated course.
