To better understand the health risk of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated acute respiratory infections (ARI) in pregnant women, a new study revealed the proportion of ARI testing positive for RSV.
Between 2010 and 2022, among 8,126 pregnant women in community, inpatient, and outpatient settings, the proportion with respiratory infections that tested positive for RSV ranged from 0.9% to 10.7%, with a meta-estimate of 3.4% (95% CI: 1.9; 54).
Additionally, these RSV-positive pregnant women had higher odds of preterm delivery (odds ratio 3.6 [1.3; 10.3]).
