Number of hospitalisations, RSV-attributable ILI cases, and RSV test positivity per season (total across all age-groups).

Season	Hospital discharges	RSV-attributable ILI cases	Positive tests/Total tests (%, 95% CI)
2018–2019	2,288	195,590	41/213 (19.25, 14.18–25.19%)
2019–2020	1,944	70,512	48/631 (7.61, 5.66–9.96%)
2020–2021	53	0	0/448 (0.00, 0.00–0.82%)
2021–2022	2,745	152,831	202/1121 (18.02, 15.81–20.40%)

95% exact binomial confidence intervals are shown for the RSV tests.

RSV, respiratory syncytial virus; ILI, influenza-like illness; CI, confidence interval.

DIC, deviance information criterion; FOI, force of infection.
