Hospitalization Outcomes of Full-Term and Premature Children Aged Less Than 2 Years Hospitalized With RSV
Premature children accounted for 1 in 5 hospitalizations among children aged less than 2 years hospitalized with RSV. Compared with term children, all premature children had increased risk for severe in-hospital outcomes in early infancy, and those with BPD remained at increased risk of prolonged hospitalization through age 23 months.
