Abbreviations: ARI, acute respiratory infection; CD, community-dwelling; cRSV-ARI, participants with confirmed RSV-ARI episode (by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR]); HCRU, healthcare resource utilization; LTCF, long-term care facility; N, number of ARI episodes/participants in the analysis set; n (%), number (percentage) of episodes/participants in a given category; non-cRSV, participants with ARI episodes with either no respiratory viral pathogen or a non-RSV viral pathogen identified by RT-PCR; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus; SD, standard deviation.
Missing data: participants with missing and/or invalid RT-PCR RSV results for at least 1 ARI episode and without any RT-PCR RSV-positive ARI episode.
