Comparative Clinical Outcomes of Major Respiratory Viruses in Hospitalized Adults During the Post-Pandemic Period: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Among hospitalized adults, mortality was driven primarily by host-related factors and secondary bacterial infection rather than by viral etiology. These findings highlight the need for strengthened adult immunization programs, reliable respiratory virus surveillance, the prevention of bacterial superinfection, and the development of and equitable access to effective vaccines and antiviral therapies to reduce severe outcomes in high-risk adults.
