Incidence of Human Metapneumovirus Among Older Adults in 10 High-Income Countries: A Systematic Literature Review, Meta-analysis, and Modeling Study
Overall, our literature review, meta-analysis, and modeling study confirm a significant burden of hMPV-associated LRI in older adults. This work fills a critical evidence gap in the epidemiologic landscape of hMPV and yields actionable estimates to inform vaccine development strategies and other strategic initiatives. Future inclusion of hMPV in routine surveillance would enable more comprehensive estimates of hMPV incidence and outcomes.
