Risk factors associated with severe RSV disease among hospitalized children in the second year of life: a multicenter study
• This multicenter study shows that prematurity, CLD, CHD, and DS remain strong predictors of prolonged RSV hospitalization in children aged 12-23 months. • Those with ≥ 1 risk factor, and presumably those with DS and major CHD, faced the highest risk, with increased likelihood of PICU admission.
