CONTEXT
Influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Statistical methods used to estimate deaths in the United States attributable to influenza have not accounted for RSV circulation.
OBJECTIVE
To develop a statistical model using national mortality and viral surveillance data to estimate annual influenza- and RSV-associated deaths in the United States, by age group, virus, and influenza type and subtype.

Mortality in children from influenza and respiratory syncytial virus
- MedicineJournal of Epidemiology and Community Health

Influenza and RSV account for similar numbers of deaths in children in England, but the impact varies by winter and between age groups and is considerably underestimated if analysis is restricted to respiratory certified deaths.

Mortality Associated With Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus in the US, 1999-2018

It is suggested that, despite changes in epidemiology, endemic respiratory viruses continue to have a significant death toll in the US, especially among infants and elderly individuals.
Mortality attributable to 9 common infections: significant effect of influenza A, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza B, norovirus, and parainfluenza in elderly persons.
- MedicineThe Journal of infectious diseases

The number of different pathogens associated with mortality in the older population increases with increasing age, and influenza A and RSV, influenza B, parainfluenza and norovirus may also contribute substantially to elderly mortality.
Hospitalizations for Respiratory Syncytial Virus Among Adults in the United States, 1997–2012
- Medicine, BiologyOpen forum infectious diseases
- 2017
Respiratory syncytial virus hospitalizations in adults are increasing, likely due to increasing recognition and diagnosis, and those that are diagnosed are on average more severe.

Influenza and RSV substantially contributed to hospitalizations over the study period, with children <1 year and adults ≥75 years were the most affected.
