Article Synopsis
- The research aimed to analyze the characteristics of immunized children over 15 years and track their hospital readmissions due to respiratory infections.
- The study included 222 infants, primarily preterm or with congenital heart defects, who received palivizumab, and found that 17.1% were readmitted to the hospital for lung issues but only one tested positive for RSV upon re-admission.
- The conclusion highlights the effectiveness of palivizumab in preventing severe respiratory issues, with an increase in immunized infants but no significant rise in hospital readmissions for respiratory disorders.
