Economic burden of respiratory syncytial and parainfluenza viruses in children of upper-middle-income countries: a systematic review

CONCLUSION: The present study highlighted how RSV infection represents a substantial economic burden to health care systems and to society. The findings of the included studies suggest a possible association between baseline risk status and expenditures. Moreover, it was observed that an important amount of the cost is destinated to treatments that have no evidence or support in most clinical practice guidelines.PMID:37247828 | DOI:10.1016/j.jped.2023.05.003
