Change in Age profile of Respiratory Syncytial Virus disease over the course of annual epidemics: a multi-national study

We aimed to study whether the percentwise age distribution of RSV cases changes over time during annual epidemics. We used surveillance data (2008–2019) from the Netherlands, Lyon (France), Portugal, Singapore, Ecuador, South Africa, and New Zealand. In each country, every season was divided into “e...

Description
Summary:We aimed to study whether the percentwise age distribution of RSV cases changes over time during annual epidemics. We used surveillance data (2008–2019) from the Netherlands, Lyon (France), Portugal, Singapore, Ecuador, South Africa, and New Zealand. In each country, every season was divided into “epidemic quarters”, i.e. periods corresponding to each quartile of RSV cases. Multinomial logistic regression models were fitted to evaluate whether the likelihood of RSV cases being aged
