Virologically Confirmed Population-based Burden of Hospitalization Caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Adenovirus, and Parainfluenza Viruses in Children in Hong Kong

Abstract
Objectives: To determine virologically confirmed hospitalization rates associated with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, and parainfluenza viruses in Hong Kong children. Methods: All patients P = 0.013 and P = 0.038, respectively). Conclusion: We documented that the overall pediatric hospitalization burden of RSV was high and comparable to that of influenza. The burden for all the studied viruses was mainly in previously healthy children <5 years of age.
