Estimation of the Respiratory Syncytial Virus Hospitalization Burden in Older Adults in the Veneto Region, Italy: A Modeling Study
RSV-related hospitalizations in older adults are substantially underreported in administrative data. Improved surveillance and prospective clinical studies are needed to validate model estimates and assess diagnostic test performance. Statistical modeling represents a valid approach to estimate the burden of RSV hospitalizations in underdiagnosed populations, such as the elderly, when direct data are lacking.
