Severity of respiratory syncytial virus compared with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza among hospitalised adults ≥65 years.
Introduction: Our aim was to estimate the risk of pneumonia, admission to intensive care unit (ICU) or death in individuals ≥65 years old admitted to hospital with RSV, compared to influenza or COVID-19. Methods: We included hospitalised patients from Severe Acute Respiratory Infection Surveillance...

| Sumario: | Introduction: Our aim was to estimate the risk of pneumonia, admission to intensive care unit (ICU) or death in individuals ≥65 years old admitted to hospital with RSV, compared to influenza or COVID-19. Methods: We included hospitalised patients from Severe Acute Respiratory Infection Surveillance in Spain between 2021-2024, aged ≥65 years, laboratory confirmed for RSV, influenza or SARS-CoV-2. Using a binomial regression with logarithmic link, we estimated the relative risk (RR) of pneumonia, ICU admission and in-hospital mortality, in patients with RSV compared to influenza or SARS-CoV-2, adjusting for age, sex, season and comorbidities. We stratified the estimates by vaccination status for influenza or SARS-CoV2. Results: Among patients unvaccinated for influenza or SARS-CoV-2, those with RSV had similar or lower risk of pneumonia [vs. influenza: RR= 0.91 (95% Confidence Interval: 0.72-1.16); vs. SARS-CoV-2: 0.81 (0.67-0.98)], ICU admission [vs. influenza: 0.93 (0.41-2.08); vs. SARS-CoV-2: 1.10 (0.61-1.99)] and mortality [vs. influenza: 0.64 (0.32-1.28); vs. SARS-CoV-2: 0.56 (0.30-1.04)]. Among the vaccinated, results were largely similar except for a higher risk of ICU admission with RSV [vs. influenza: 2.13(1.16-3.89); vs. SARS-CoV-2: 1.83 (1.02-3.28)] CONCLUSIONS: RSV presented similar or lower intrinsic severity than influenza or SARS-CoV2. Among vaccinated patients, RSV was associated to higher ICU-admission, suggesting the potential for preventive RSV vaccination. |
