Using Multiple Methods to Estimate Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)‐associated Hospitalization Rates in Children Aged < 5 Years—Hamilton County, Ohio, 2009–2017
Each method has limitations and inherent biases that may impact the estimation of the burden of RSV. Capture-recapture analysis may be a useful tool to estimate the burden of RSV, but needs to be adjusted to account for possible violation of the assumptions of independence and equal probability of capture to ensure accurate approximation of disease burden and avoid over estimation.
