Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes a substantial disease burden among children, elderly and immunocompromised adults. Recognition of patient involvement in research is gradually increasing. Most research is being carried out without active patient involvement other than patients participating as study subjects, and most knowledge gained through research only partially reaches the general public.

- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) significantly impacts healthy infants, leading to many hospitalizations worldwide, and understanding its burden in Europe is critical for future vaccine and treatment development.
- A study will follow 10,000 healthy infants over three years to track RSV-related hospitalizations through questionnaires and medical records, focusing on a smaller group of 1,000 for detailed respiratory sampling.
- The main goal is to gather data on the rate of RSV-related hospitalizations and respiratory infections in infants, which will enhance knowledge on RSV's impact and aid healthcare strategies.
