Abstract

To determine if healthcare-associated (HA)-respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is associated with worse outcomes, this multicenter cohort study studied 26 children with HA-RSV and 78 matched non-HA-RSV patients of whom 58% and 55%, respectively, had ≥2 comorbidities. Overall, 39% of HA-RSV versus 18% of non-HA-RSV patients required respiratory support escalation (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 5.1, CI95 1.4, 19.1).
