About this study

Official title: An Epidemiological Study to Evaluate the Seasonality of Respiratory Syncytial Virus-Associated-Lower Respiratory Tract Infections (LRI) or Apnea in Infants in the Emergency Department

The primary objective of this study is to describe the incidence of RSV-associated LRI among infants <1 year of age presenting to the ED during selected shoulder months.

Read the detailed description
  • The primary objective of this study is to describe the incidence of RSV-associated LRI or apnea (% RSV positive) among infants <1 year of age presenting to the ED during selected shoulder months. The total number of events will also be described.
  • To characterize the clinical outcomes and demographic data of infants presenting to the ED with RSV-associated LRI or apnea
  • To characterize the social burden (in the form of number of days lost from work by parent/ guardian) for these infants through 14 days after the index ED visit and through hospital discharge will also be described.
  • Based on a sample of cases collected in a cohort of patients enrolled at or near the peak of RSV disease during the traditional season, a comparison of the rate of RSV between shoulder and peak periods will be described.
  • To describe the overall rates of RSV-associated LRI or apnea based on the general ED statistics collected during the entire study period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measuring the incidence of RSV-associated, LRI or apnea among infants <1 yr. old presenting the Emergency Dept. during shoulder months.

    Measured: July 2008

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Clinical outcome of infants at Emergency Dept. with RSV-associated LRI or apnea.(hospital admission, 23 hr.-observations,no. of outpatient and/or urgent care visits,ICU,mechanical ventilation,supplemental oxygen use, meds,admission rate)

    Measured: July 2008

  2. Societal burden(no. of days lost from work by parent/guardian) for infants through 14 days after index ED visit and through hospital discharge.

    Measured: July 2008

  3. Comparison of rates of RSV-associated LRI or apnea during the peak periods and between shoulder and peak periods.

    Measured: July 2008

  4. Overall rates of RSV-associated LRI or apnea based on general ED statistics collected during the entire study period, including outside recruitment periods.

    Measured: July 2008
