Global, regional, and national disease burden estimates of acute lower respiratory infections due to respiratory syncytial virus in young children in 2015: a systematic review and modelling study

Ting Shi, +138 more
- 02 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated the incidence and hospital admission rate of RSV-associated acute lower respiratory infection (RSV-ALRI) in children younger than 5 years stratified by age and World Bank income regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global burden of respiratory infections due to seasonal influenza in young children: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Harish Nair, +52 more
- 03 Dec 2011 - 
TL;DR: The role of influenza in childhood mortality from ALRI is estimated by combining incidence estimates with case fatality ratios from hospital-based reports and identifying studies with population-based data for influenza seasonality and monthly ALRI mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Respiratory syncytial virus infection

TL;DR: This work has shown that passive prophylaxis with either polyclonal or monoclonal antibody to RSV prevents severe lung disease in high-risk infants and children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global and regional burden of hospital admissions for severe acute lower respiratory infections in young children in 2010: a systematic analysis

Harish Nair, +38 more
- 20 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: The data suggest that although 62% of children with severe ALRI are treated in hospitals, 81% of deaths happen outside hospitals, which suggests community-based management of severe disease could be an important complementary strategy to reduce pneumonia mortality and health inequities.
