Real-world effectiveness of RSVpreF vaccination during pregnancy against RSV-associated lower respiratory tract disease leading to hospitalisation in infants during the 2024 RSV season in Argentina (BERNI study): a multicentre, retrospective, test-negative, case–control study
Background
In March, 2024, Argentina became the first country to implement a national maternal immunisation programme with bivalent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prefusion F vaccine (RSVpreF) as the primary strategy to prevent RSV disease among infants. We aimed to evaluate vaccine effectiveness against RSV-associated lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) and severe LRTD leading to hospitalisation among infants during the first season after implementation.
Methods
A multicentre, retrospective, test-negative, case-control study was done during the 2024 RSV season in 12 hospitals across Argentina (BERNI study). We included infants aged 6 months or younger who were hospitalised with LRTD between April 1 and Sept 30, 2024, and tested for RSV using PCR or indirect immunofluorescence; cases were infants with any positive RSV test and controls were PCR-confirmed negative for RSV. Infants were considered born to an RSVpreF-vaccinated pregnant woman if RSVpreF was received between 32+0/7 weeks and 36+6/7 weeks of gestation and 14 days or more before delivery. We estimated vaccine effectiveness against RSV-associated LRTD requiring hospitalisation (primary outcome) and RSV-associated severe LRTD requiring hospitalisation (key secondary outcome) by comparing the odds of RSVpreF vaccination during pregnancy among infant cases versus controls using multilevel logistic regression adjusted for potential confounders.
Findings
Of 633 infants hospitalised for LRTD between April 1 and Sept 30, 2024, 505 (286 cases and 219 controls) met full eligibility criteria for inclusion in the primary vaccine effectiveness analysis; 51 (18%) cases and 109 (50%) controls were born to individuals who received RSVpreF during pregnancy. Vaccine effectiveness against RSV-associated LRTD leading to infant hospitalisation was 78·6% (95% CI 62·1–87·9) from birth to age 3 months and 71·3% (53·3–82·3) from birth to age 6 months. Effectiveness against RSV-associated severe LRTD leading to hospitalisation was 76·9% (45·0–90·3) from birth to age 6 months. Three RSV-associated in-hospital deaths occurred, all among infants whose mothers did not receive RSVpreF during pregnancy.
Interpretation
These real-world estimates for the 2024 RSV season in Argentina show high RSVpreF effectiveness against RSV-associated LRTD and severe LRTD leading to hospitalisation from birth to age 3 months and sustained to age 6 months.

期刊介绍:
The Lancet Infectious Diseases was launched in August, 2001, and is a lively monthly journal of original research, review, opinion, and news covering international issues relevant to clinical infectious diseases specialists worldwide.The infectious diseases journal aims to be a world-leading publication, featuring original research that advocates change or sheds light on clinical practices related to infectious diseases. The journal prioritizes articles with the potential to impact clinical practice or influence perspectives. Content covers a wide range of topics, including anti-infective therapy and immunization, bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections, emerging infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, mycobacterial infections, infection control, infectious diseases epidemiology, neglected tropical diseases, and travel medicine. Informative reviews on any subject linked to infectious diseases and human health are also welcomed.
