Epidemiological Changes in Hospitalized Bronchiolitis in Children Under 2 Years of Age in Hangzhou Before and After COVID-19 Restriction Easing
The findings suggest that bronchiolitis hospitalizations increased markedly after COVID-19 restriction easing, particularly among children aged 12-18 months. There was a shift in the timing of the peak of several viruses including RSV, HMPV and PIV infections in 2023, emphasizing the need for hospitals to anticipate potential irregularities in time in the future.
