Healthy Late-preterm infants born 33–36+ 6 weeks gestational age have higher risk for respiratory syncytial virus hospitalization
…, CM Nylund, MD Eberly, MB Eide, DR Stagliano�- Early human�…, 2015 - Elsevier
Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of hospitalization for
children< 1 year old and is more severe in premature infants. Objective To assess whether
late preterm (LPT) birth is an independent risk factor for RSV hospitalization and more
severe RSV disease in children less than 24 months old. Methods We conducted a
retrospective cohort study of children enrolled in the military health system. LPT birth was
defined as 33+ 0 through 36+ 6 weeks gestation. Patients who received palivizumab or had�…

Children with Down syndrome are high-risk for severe respiratory syncytial virus disease
DR Stagliano, CM Nylund, MB Eide, MD Eberly�- The Journal of pediatrics, 2015 - Elsevier
Objective To assess Down syndrome as an independent risk factor for respiratory syncytial
virus (RSV) hospitalization in children younger than 3 years of age and to evaluate illness
severity. Study design A retrospective cohort study of children enrolled in the military health
system database was conducted. The effect of Down syndrome on RSV hospitalization was
assessed by Cox proportional hazards model, while we controlled for risk factors. Disease
severity was assessed by length of hospital stay, need for respiratory support, and age at�…
