Residency in Long-Term Care Facilities: An Important Risk Factor for Respiratory Syncytial Virus Hospitalization
Angela R Branche, Ann R Falsey, Lyn Finelli, Edward E Walsh. The Journal of infectious diseases, 2024-11-15
Topic: Health services, long-term care and technology
Older age and comorbid conditions increase risk for severe for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and assisted living (AL) facilities represent an intersection of risk factors. In a 3-year prospective study in Rochester, New York, we compared the population-based incidence of RSV-associated hospitalization for community-dwelling (CD), SNF, and AL adults aged ≥65 years. Their median ages were 76, 83 and 86 years, respectively, and dementia and congestive heart failure (CHF) were more prevalent among SNF and AL residents. The average annual incidences were 117 (95% confidence interval, 104-132), 440 (307-629) and 740 per 100 000 persons (523-1045), respectively, for CD, SNF, and AL adults aged ≥65 years, demonstrating a need for unequivocal RSV vaccine recommendations in SNF and AL residents.

How this study scored 43/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 24 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 43 out of 100.
