A comparative study of incidence rate and severity of influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus associated hospitalisation in older adults in Jiangsu Province, China: a retrospective analysis of a regional medical database
We found the RSV hospitalisation burden to be comparable to that of IFV in older adults, albeit with higher severity. The findings contribute to the evidence base for recommendation of RSV and IFV vaccination in older adults in China.
