Abstract
Globally, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is responsible for more than 3.6 million hospitalizations and 100,000 deaths every year. Since 2023, three immunizations have been approved for clinical use, each targeting a different patient population. These newly available RSV immunizations are poised to prevent hospitalizations, reduce costs for healthcare systems, and save lives. This review will discuss the evidence behind these immunization strategies and examine their potential to blunt the global impact from RSV.
期刊介绍:
JHM is a peer-reviewed publication of the Society of Hospital Medicine and is published 12 times per year. JHM publishes manuscripts that address the care of hospitalized adults or children.
Broad areas of interest include (1) Treatments for common inpatient conditions; (2) Approaches to improving perioperative care; (3) Improving care for hospitalized patients with geriatric or pediatric vulnerabilities (such as mobility problems, or those with complex longitudinal care); (4) Evaluation of innovative healthcare delivery or educational models; (5) Approaches to improving the quality, safety, and value of healthcare across the acute- and postacute-continuum of care; and (6) Evaluation of policy and payment changes that affect hospital and postacute care.
