Current strategies and perspectives for active and passive immunization against Respiratory Syncytial Virus in childhood.

TL;DR: A non-systematic review of RSV immunoprophylaxis in childhood and pregnancy was carried out in PubMed, path.org and clinical trial registries, without language restrictions, up to September 2022 as mentioned in this paper .

Hospital utilization rates for influenza and RSV: a novel approach and critical assessment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a Bayesian mixed effects model over age with random effects over location to estimate rates of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) hospitalization by calculating the proportion of ALRI due to influenza and RSV and applying this proportion to inpatient admissions with ALRI coded as primary diagnosis.

Clinical and Viral Factors Associated With Disease Severity and Subsequent Wheezing in Infants With Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection.

TL;DR: Infants with a more severe RSV infection, demonstrated by having a higher ReSViNET score, fever, and requiring hospitalization and intensive care, were more likely to have developed subsequent wheezing at 1 year of age.

Global, regional, and national causes of child mortality in 2000-13, with projections to inform post-2015 priorities: an updated systematic analysis.

TL;DR: The authors' projection results provide concrete examples of how the distribution of child causes of deaths could look in 15-20 years to inform priority setting in the post-2015 era.
