TLDR
Mortality data suggest that RSV is an important cause of death in childhood from ALRI, after pneumococcal pneumonia and Haemophilus influenzae type b, and the development of novel prevention and treatment strategies should be accelerated as a priority.

- 10 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) as discussed by the authors, the authors used the GBD 2010 methods with some refinements to improve accuracy applied to an updated database of vital registration, survey, and census data.

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.

Burden of disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in children younger than 5 years: global estimates

Katherine L. O'Brien, +9 more
- 12 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: The burden of pneumococcal pneumonia is measured by applying the proportion of pneumonia cases caused by S pneumoniae derived from efficacy estimates from vaccine trials to WHO country-specific estimates of all-cause pneumonia cases and deaths, using disease incidence and case-fatality data from a systematic literature review.

TL;DR: A 4-year effort by WHO to improve the accuracy of estimates of the proportion of deaths in children younger than age 5 years attributable to pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria, measles, and the major causes of death in the first 28 days of life is reported on.

The burden of respiratory syncytial virus infection in young children.

Caroline B. Hall, +12 more
- 10 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: RSV infection is associated with substantial morbidity in U.S. children in both inpatient and outpatient settings, suggesting that control strategies targeting only high-risk children will have a limited effect on the total disease burden of RSV infection.

TL;DR: Substantial evidence revealed that the leading risk factors contributing to pneumonia incidence are lack of exclusive breastfeeding, undernutrition, indoor air pollution, low birth weight, crowding and lack of measles immunization.
