Risk Factors for ICU Admission in Hospitalized Children with RSV Infection, 2022-2025

A retrospective study of 5,814 hospitalized children with PCR-confirmed RSV infection between July 2022 and April 2025. The data, authored by Chunyun Fu, identifies independent risk factors for ICU admission, with 12.2% of the hospitalized cohort requiring intensive care. The analysis includes epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data.

Use Cases

• Predicting ICU admission risk based on clinical characteristics like fever duration and respiratory complications.
• Identifying high-risk patient profiles for early intervention using factors such as bilateral consolidation on imaging.
• Analyzing the prevalence and impact of multi-system complications in pediatric RSV cases.

Strengths

• Based on a large cohort of 5,814 hospitalized children with PCR-confirmed RSV.
• Identifies specific, quantified risk factors (e.g., respiratory complications OR=5.20, prolonged fever OR=1.19 per day).
• Includes detailed clinical, laboratory, and imaging data points as described in the study methods.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (26.0 KB), suggesting it may contain summary statistics rather than patient-level records.
