RSV-associated ARI in-hospital case fatality ratio and deaths in high-income countries

Age group	Number of studies	CFR (95% CI) of ARI hospitalisations testing positive for RSV	Number of in-hospital deaths (95% CI) under two assumptions in 2019
			Under-ascertained RSV cases having same CFR as those testing positive for RSV	Under-ascertained RSV cases having zero CFR
65 years or above	2	6.1 (3.3–11.0)	47,000 (16,000–148,000)	22,000 (7,000–66,000)
60 years or above	2	5.3 (3.9–7.3)	NE*	NE*

RSV respiratory syncytial virus, CFR case fatality ratio, CI confidence interval, NE not estimable

*Not estimable because of the absence of studies reporting RSV-associated ARI hospitalisation in those aged 60 years or above
