Hospitalizations for bronchiolitis among infants before and after the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: an area-based study of the Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy
This area-based study shows reduced hospital admissions due to bronchiolitis during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and a resurgence of RSV infection after the easing of preventive measures. We also provide information on length of stay and need for hospital treatments. These area-based information will be helpful in assessing the impact of future universal prevention measures.
