Imputed RSV Hospitalization Rates for 47 States and DC, 2018-2024

Weekly imputed RSV hospital admission rates per 100,000 population from 47 states plus DC from 2018-2024 are described. Rates were estimated by combining values from RSV-Net with those from NSSP and NHSN to obtain combined time series of RSV hospital admissions counts. Calculated RSV hospital admission rates (either interpolated, extrapolated, or imputed) are reported.

Use Cases

• Analyze weekly trends in RSV hospitalization using Epi Week Start Date and Calculated Counts.
• Compare state-level RSV burden using State Abbreviation and Calculated Counts.
• Validate imputation models by comparing RSVNet RSV Count and NSSP RSV Count for states with overlapping data.
• Forecast future RSV admissions using the time-series of Calculated Counts across multiple years.

Strengths

• Covers 47 states plus DC, providing broad geographic coverage.
• Includes weekly data from 2018 to 2024, offering a multi-year time series.
• Combines data from multiple surveillance systems (RSV-Net, NSSP, NHSN) for imputation.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the source surveillance systems.
