The varying patterns of acute respiratory infection hospitalizations before and during two pandemic years medrxivpreprint mcgillu universitelaval infection pandemic hospital
By Shanet Susan AlexJul 5 2022Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent article published in the medRxiv* preprint server, investigators analyzed the varying pattern of respiratory viruses resulting in hospitalizations from 2012-2013 to 2021-2022 in Canada.
Nevertheless, a thorough explanation of the combined impact of SARS-CoV-2 and ORV on hospitalizations is absent. Understanding the combined effect of ORV and SARS-CoV-2 on hospital capacity over the two coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic years and comparing it to pre-pandemic seasons may shed light on the post-pandemic timeframe when ORV and SARS-CoV-2 will cocirculate.
Due to difficulties with hospital resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the four hospitals did not participate in 2020–2021; this institution rejoined the network in 2021–2022. In 2021–2022, two more tertiary hospitals joined the network. In addition, compared to the initial pandemic season, an unseasonal respiratory syncytial virus outbreak in August and September of 2021 led to a high percentage of children hospitalized with ORV, mostly RSV, and SARS-CoV-2. Besides, the availability and use of COVID-19 outpatient antivirals and vaccinations, which can help avoid hospitalizations, differed by age group.
Conclusions The current report based on comprehensive RV detection illustrates variations in the etiology of 17 RVs and SARS-CoV-2 across adult and pediatric ARI hospitalizations in the two COVID-19 pandemic years compared to eight pre-pandemic years in the same cohort. According to the authors, the present research encompasses the broadest follow-up period in adult and pediatric hospitalized patients during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and pre-pandemic phases.
