Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alison Muse"
- Alison Muse's research primarily focuses on the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of respiratory viral infections, particularly influenza and COVID-19, utilizing data from national surveillance networks to assess hospitalization trends and health outcomes among various populations, including children and immunocompromised adults.
- Recent findings highlight the challenges in accurately predicting severe disease outcomes in influenza patients using established severity scores and illustrate the prevalence of codetections of other respiratory viruses in children hospitalized with COVID-19, which may impact clinical management and patient outcomes.
- Muse's work also emphasizes the importance of timely antiviral treatment for influenza, the differences in hospitalization rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the need for targeted health interventions for vulnerable groups, including pregnant women and children.
