RESUMO
Older age and comorbid conditions increase risk for severe RSV. Skilled nursing (SNF) and assisted living (AL) facilities represent an intersection of risk factors. In a 3-year prospective study (Rochester, NY) we compared population-based incidence of RSV-associated hospitalization for community-dwelling, SNF and AL adults ≥65 years. Median age was 76, 83 and 86 years, respectively, and dementia and CHF more prevalent among SNF and assisted living residents. Average annual incidence was 117 (95%CI:104-132), 440 (95%CI:307-629) and 740/100,000 persons (95%CI:523-1045) for community-dwelling, SNF and AL adults ≥65 years, respectively, demonstrating need for unequivocal RSV vaccine recommendations in SNF and AL residents.
