Rates of Medically Attended RSV Among US Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

John M McLaughlin, +5 more
- 17 Jun 2022 - 
TL;DR: The true burden of RSV has been underestimated and is significant among older adults and individuals with chronic medical conditions, and a highly effective adult RSV vaccine would have substantial public health impact.

Ruth A. Karron, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Assessment of the prevalence and severity of recurrent wheezing or asthma in children aged up to 6 years and standardised assessments in diverse settings are needed to fully evaluate the effect of RSV preventive interventions.

Meta-Analysis in Clinical Trials*

Rebecca DerSimonian, +3 more
- 01 Sep 1986 - 
TL;DR: This paper examines eight published reviews each reporting results from several related trials in order to evaluate the efficacy of a certain treatment for a specified medical condition and suggests a simple noniterative procedure for characterizing the distribution of treatment effects in a series of studies.

Global, regional, and national life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes of death, 1980–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

Haidong Wang, +844 more
- 08 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015, finding several countries in sub-Saharan Africa had very large gains in life expectancy, rebounding from an era of exceedingly high loss of life due to HIV/AIDS.

Global burden of acute lower respiratory infections due to respiratory syncytial virus in young children: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Harish Nair, +24 more
- 01 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: 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.
