Abstract: To determine if healthcare-associated (HA)-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 (aOR 5.1, CI95 1.4,19.1).<br /> (© The Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society 2024.)
