Background Preterm infants are at high risk of developing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated lower tract infection (LRTI). This observational epidemiologic study evaluated RSV disease burden and factors for RSV-associated LRTI hospitalization in preterm 33 weeks+0 days to 35 weeks+6 gestational age not receiving prophylaxis. Methods ≤6 months during season (1 October 2013–30 April 2014) were followed 72 sites across 23 countries from September 2013–July 2014 (study period). testing...
