Efficacy of nirsevimab weight-band dose on different case definitions of medically attended LRTI to 150 days post-dose (intention-to-treat population)
Placebo group (n=786) | Nirsevimab group (n=1564) | Relative risk reduction (95% CI) | p value | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Medically attended RSV LRTI* | 51 (6%) | 19 (1%) | 79·5% (65·9–87·7) | <0·0001 |
Hospital admission for medically attended RSV LRTI† | 21 (3%) | 9 (1%) | 77·3% (50·3–89·7) | 0·0002 |
Very severe RSV LRTI‡ | 18 (2%) | 5 (<1%) | 86·0% (62·5–94·8) | <0·0001 |
Medically attended LRTI of any cause‡§ | 149 (19%) | 191 (12%) | 35·4% (21·5–46·9) | <0·0001 |
Hospital admission for respiratory illness of any cause‡§ | 51 (6%) | 57 (4%) | 43·8% (18·8–61·1) | 0·0022 |
Relative risk reduction (95% CI) and p values were estimated on the basis of Poisson regression with robust variance across all case definitions. LRTI=lower respiratory tract infection. RSV=respiratory syncytial virus.
The model included study code, treatment group, and stratification factors (age at randomisation and hemisphere) as covariates obtained from PROC MIANALYZE after missing data imputation.
The model included study and treatment group as covariates for pooled studies obtained from PROC MIANALYZE after missing data imputation.
The model included treatment as a factor.
Included are all medically attended LRTIs according to the investigator's judgement, regardless of whether they met the clinical criteria for the definition of medically attended LRTI (appendix p 4).
