Figure 5.
Plaque size and disease severity. Plaque size vs. (a) hospital admission (admitted (n = 104), not admitted (n = 16)), (b) duration of hospitalization (n = 120), (c) requirement for intensive care (ICU (n = 22), non-ICU (n = 98)), and (d) respiratory failure (intubated (n = 16), not intubated (n = 104)). Data contain both RSV-A- and RSV-B-infected patients whose duration of hospitalization, respiratory failure, and ICU admission were evaluated retrospectively upon discharge. The t-test was used in panels a, c, and d.
