RSV-Positive Children <5 Years Presenting to Pediatric Emergency Departments in Türkiye: TRUST-RSV
Starting soon
Conditions studied: Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection, Acute Bronchiolitis Due to Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Pneumonia, Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
In brief
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children and contributes substantially to pediatric emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. In Türkiye, nationally representative prospective data describing the epidemiology, clinical spectrum, and resource utilization of RSV-positive children presenting to pediatric EDs remain limited. This multicenter prospective observational study aims to characterize demographic and clinical features of RSV-positive children under 5 years of age presenting to participating pediatric EDs across two consecutive RSV seasons, and to quantify key healthcare utilization outcomes, including ED observation duration, hospitalization, and intensive care unit (ICU) admission.
