Abstract Background In 2014, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended against the use of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunoprophylaxis in infants 29–34 weeks gestational age (wGA) at birth without chronic lung disease/bronchopulmonary dysplasia (CLD/BPD) or congenital heart disease (CHD). To inform discussions of the clinical and economic value of RSV immunoprophylaxis in these infants, we compared RSV hospitalization (RSVH) severity and costs incurred by infants hospitalized from 2014–2016 at <6 months chronologic age (CA) for two groups: 29–34 wGA infants without CLD/BPD or CHD and term infants (≥37 wGA) without major health problems. Methods Births were identified in the MarketScan Commercial (COM) and Multistate Medicaid (MED) databases. Term and 29–34 wGA infants without CLD/BPD or CHD were selected using DRG and ICD-9/10-CM diagnosis codes. RSVH occurring from Julu 1, 2014 to June 30, 2016 while infants were <6 months CA (the period of highest RSVH incidence) were identified by ICD-9/10-CM diagnosis codes. Severity measures were length of stay (LOS) in days, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, and healthcare costs (paid amounts on reimbursed hospital claims in 2016 US$). Comparisons between term and 29–34 wGA infants were made with t-tests and chi-squared tests. Results There were 1,114 RSVH in the COM data and 3,167 RSVH in the MED data during the study period. Mean LOS was longer for 29–34 wGA infants than term infants for each age category (P < 0.05) and tended to be longer for MED infants vs. COM infants (Figure 1). Thirty-eight percent of COM 29–34 wGA infants and 52% of MED 29–34 wGA infants hospitalized for RSV at <3 months CA were admitted to the ICU (Figure 2). RSVH costs for 29–34 wGA infants were greater than term RSVH costs for each age category (P < 0.05) and were greatest among 29–34 wGA infants hospitalized at <3 months CA: $41,104 for 29–34 wGA COM infants and $24,049 for 29–34 wGA MED infants (Figure 3). Conclusion RSVH severity and costs were significantly higher for 29–34 wGA infants without CLD/BPD or CHD relative to term infants. Infants hospitalized at <3 months CA experienced the most severe hospitalizations and incurred the highest costs. This study was funded by AstraZeneca. Disclosures M.

Abstract Background RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is the leading cause of infant hospitalization. Most studies of RSV have focused on infants with underlying comorbidities, including prematurity. The purpose of this analysis is to describe the burden of RSV LRTI across all medical settings and in all infants experiencing their first RSV season. Methods Using de-identified claims data from two commercial (MarketScan Commercial, MSC; Optum Clinformatics, OC) and one public (MarketScan Medicaid, MSM) insurance database, we estimated the prevalence of MA RSV LRTI among infants born between April 1, 2016 and June 30, 2019 in their first RSV season. Estimates were made by gestational age, presence/absence of comorbidities, and setting (inpatient, emergency department and outpatient). Due to limited laboratory testing, we defined MA RSV LRTI using two sets of ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes: a specific definition (identifying RSV explicitly) and a sensitive definition that included unspecified bronchiolitis. The first specific diagnosis triggered a search for another MA RSV LRTI diagnosis (either specific or sensitive) within the next 7 days. In the sensitive analysis, the first diagnosis was allowed to meet the sensitive definition. Setting was recorded as the highest level of care attached to a MA RSV LRTI diagnosis within this 7-day period. Results Using the specific (sensitive) definitions, 4.2% (12.2%), 6.8% (16.8%), and 2.7% (7.2%) of newborns had an MA RSV LRTI diagnosis during their first respiratory season across the MSC, MSM, and OC datasets (Table 1). Term infants without comorbidities accounted for 77% (83%), 79% (86%), and 80 (81%) of all MA RSV LRTI, and 21% (10%), 19% (10%), and 21% (10%) of all infants with MA RSV LRTI had an inpatient hospital stay (Table 2). Term infants without comorbidities accounted for 69% (68%), 67% (79%), and 73% (73%) of all MA RSV LRTI inpatients (Table 2). Conclusion In commercial and public claims data, during their first RSV season, term infants without comorbidities accounted for a sizable majority of inpatient, emergency room, and outpatient encounters for RSV LRTI in the US. To address the burden of RSV LRTI, future RSV prevention efforts should target all infants.

Abstract Background In 2014, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) stopped recommending respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunoprophylaxis in infants 29–34 weeks gestational age (wGA) without chronic lung disease (CLD) or congenital heart disease (CHD). This study examined the impact of this guidance change on the severity and costs of first year of life RSV hospitalizations (RSVH) and all-cause bronchiolitis hospitalizations (BH) among preterm (PT) vs. term infants in the 2014–2016 seasonal years relative to the 2011–2014 seasonal years. Methods Infants aged <1 year between July 1, 2011 and June 31, 2016 were identified from commercial insurance claims in the Optum Research Database. Diagnosis codes identified births of term and 29–34 wGA infants without CLD, CHD, or other health problems, RSVH, and BH. Length of stay (LOS), admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and use of mechanical ventilation (MV) captured RSVH and BH severity. Costs were adjusted to 2015 USD. Results A total of 362,382 births (29–34 wGA and term without major health problems) were identified, of which 13,666 (3.8%) were PT. RSVH and BH were more severe among PT infants in 2014–2016 vs. 2011–2014, with a greater mean LOS (RSVH: 6.8 vs. 4.7 days, P = 0.008; BH: 7.2 vs. 4.6, P = 0.021), a higher proportion of infants admitted to the ICU (RSVH: 42.4% vs. 25.3%, P = 0.014; BH: 39.1% vs. 23.7%, P = 0.009), and increased use of MV (RSVH: 14.1% vs. 6.1%, P = 0.067; BH: 14.8% vs. 5.3%, P = 0.013). Among term infants, LOS and ICU admissions were similar between 2014–2016 and 2011–2014 (P > 0.05), but there was an increased use of MV in the 2014–2016 season (RSVH: 6.9% vs. 4.2%, P = 0.009; BH: 6.3% vs. 3.7%, P = 0.003). Mean costs per hospitalization were greater for PT infants in 2014–2016 compared with 2011–2014 (RSVH: $29,382 vs. $16,572, P = 0.059; BH: $26,101 vs. $15,896, P = 0.047), whereas mean term hospitalization costs were similar (RSVH: $15,011 vs. $15,472, P = 0.705; BH: $14,555 vs. $14,603, P = 0.957). Conclusion RSVH and BH severity and per-hospitalization costs (higher among PT infants relative to term infants) increased following the 2014 AAP immunoprophylaxis guidance change. The increases are likely explained by more frequent RSV hospitalizations among higher-risk 29–34 wGA infants in 2014–2016. Funded by AstraZeneca Disclosures L. R.

Abstract Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines are in clinical development for older adults. We described RSV infections among adults requiring hospitalization and risk factors for severe outcomes using a population-based platform, the Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET). Methods Surveillance occurred October 1–April 30 (2014–2017) at sites located in seven states (California, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee) covering an annual catchment population of up to 13 million adults ≥18 years. Laboratory-confirmed RSV cases were identified using hospital and state public health laboratories, hospital infection preventionists, and/or reportable condition databases. Medical charts were reviewed for demographic and clinical data. International Classification of Diseases (ICD) discharge codes were abstracted. Odds ratios (Oregon) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were determined to assess risk factors for ICU hospitalization and deaths. Results A total of 2,326 hospitalized RSV cases were identified. Over half were ≥65 years (62%, n = 1,438/2,326), female (59%, n = 1,362/2,326), white (70%, n = 1,301/1,855), and had ≥3 underlying medical conditions (52%, n = 1,204/2,326). 20% (n = 398/2,000) were hospitalized in the ICU (median length of stay, 3 days; interquartile range, 1–6 days), and 5% (n = 96/2,001) died in the hospital. Congestive heart failure (CHF; OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1–1.8) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; OR: 1.3, 95% CI: 1.1–1.7) were associated with ICU admission, while age ≥80 years (OR: 4.1, 95% CI: 1.8–12.1) and CHF (OR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.6–3.6) were associated with in-hospital deaths. RSV-specific ICD codes were listed in the first 9 positions in only 44% (879/1,987) of cases. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the largest US case series of RSV-infected hospitalized adults. Most cases were ≥65 years and had multiple underlying medical conditions. Older age, CHF, and COPD were associated with the most severe outcomes. Few cases had RSV-specific ICD codes, suggesting that administrative data underestimate adult RSV-related hospitalizations. Continued surveillance is needed to understand the epidemiology of RSV among adults as vaccine products move toward licensure. Disclosures E. J. Anderson, NovaVax: Grant Investigator, Research grant.

Abstract Background In 2014, the American Academy of Pediatrics stopped recommending RSV immunoprophylaxis (RSV IP) for otherwise healthy infants 29–34 weeks gestational age (wGA), while continuing to recommend RSV IP for infants born at <29 wGA. The decline in RSV IP and associated increase in RSV hospitalizations (RSVH) among infants 29–34 wGA have been described previously, but potential effects of the 2014 guidance change on preterm infants <29 wGA are unknown. This study compared 2012–2014 and 2014–2016 outpatient RSV IP use as well as RSVH rates relative to term infants among otherwise healthy <29 wGA infants. Methods Infants born from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2016 were followed from birth hospitalization discharge through their first year of life in the MarketScan Commercial (COM) and Multistate Medicaid (MED) databases. DRG and ICD codes identified term and <29 wGA infants at birth. RSV IP receipt was derived from pharmacy and outpatient medical claims (inpatient RSV IP data were unavailable). RSVH were derived from inpatient medical claims. RSVH IP use and RSVH were assessed across three chronologic age (CA) groups: <3 months, 3–<6 months, and 6–<12 months. RSVH rate ratios for 2012–2014 and 2014–2016 were calculated for <29 wGA infants using healthy term infants 0–<12 months of age as a reference category. Results Outpatient RSV IP receipt fell after 2014 for <29 wGA infants across all CA categories, with the greatest decline observed among infants <3 months CA (Table 1). Greater RSVH rates for <29 wGA infants relative to term infants were observed after 2014 (Figures 1 and 2), with infants <3 months CA experiencing the greatest percentage increases in relative RSVH risks. Conclusion Outpatient RSV IP decreased and RSVH relative to term infants increased among otherwise healthy <29 wGA infants following the 2014 policy change, even though RSV IP continued to be recommended. The effects were greatest for infants <3 months CA and those insured by Medicaid. Funded by AstraZeneca Disclosures M.

Abstract Background The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunoprophylaxis (RSV-IP) to reduce the risk of severe RSV hospitalization (RSVH) for certain infants < 35 weeks gestational age (wGA) until 2014, when the AAP no longer recommended use among infants born >29 wGA without other medical conditions. Studies have shown that RSV-IP utilization subsequently decreased among these infants, as well as infants born < 29 wGA from whom RSV-IP is still currently recommended. We described RSVH rates among preterm (PT) infants < 35 wGA compared to term infants from 2008-2019. Methods We identified infants born between 7/1/2008 and 7/30/2019 in the MarketScan® Commercial and Multi-State Medicaid claims databases. Infants with a code for birth at < 35 wGA were classified by wGA. Those with a code for full-term without major health problems were classified as term. Infants contributed follow-up time during the RSV season (November to March) while < 6 months old, summarized as infant-seasons (days of follow-up during the RSV season divided by 151 [number of days in an RSV season]) (Table 1). Using diagnoses codes, we identified RSVH during each RSV season for infants < 6 months. Unadjusted rate ratios comparing PT infants to term infants were calculated to account for seasonal variation in virus circulation. Number of Infants and Follow-up Time Results The number of infants contributing time at < 6 months old during the RSV season and their follow-up time are shown in Table 1. There were 796 RSVH among Commercial PT infants, 6,486 RSVH among Commercial term infants, 2,501 RSVH among Medicaid PT infants, and 13,962 RSVH among Medicaid term infants during the 10 seasons in the database. RSVH rates for PT infants tended to increase over time, with the exception of the 2009-2010 season for Medicaid infants (Table 2). Rate ratios comparing PT to term infants also increased after the 2014 guidance change (Figure 1 and 2). The risk of 29-34 wGA infants compared to term infants approximately doubled in the 5 years after the guidance change (Table 2). Comparisons of RSV Hospitalization Rates for Preterm vs. Term Infants < 6 Months Old Rate Ratios for RSV Hospitalization Rates for Commercial Infants < 6 Months Old Rate Ratios for RSV Hospitalization Rates for Medicaid Infants < 6 Months Old Conclusion After the change in AAP recommendations for RSV-IP, increases in RSVH rates for infants born at 29-34 wGA compared to term were found. This was also true for < 29 wGA infants for whom RSV-IP is recommended, although the effect sizes were smaller. Disclosures Amanda M.

Abstract Background Influenza is most commonly associated with respiratory complications; however, nonrespiratory complications occur frequently among patients hospitalized with influenza. We used data from the Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET) to describe complications recorded on discharge summaries of patients hospitalized with influenza. Methods We included children (0–17 years) and adults (≥18 years), who resided within a FluSurv-NET catchment area and were hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed influenza during 2016–2017. We abstracted data on underlying conditions and discharge diagnoses from medical charts. We calculated the frequency of respiratory and nonrespiratory complications in all age groups and used univariate and multivariable logistic regression to examine factors associated with select complications among adults. Results Among 17,489 patients, the most common respiratory complications were pneumonia (26%) and acute respiratory failure (23%) and the most common nonrespiratory complications were sepsis (16%) and acute renal failure (ARF) (12%). Complications varied by age group (figure). Pneumonia was the most common respiratory complication in all age groups except 0–4 years; among children aged 0–4 years bronchiolitis was most common (104/712; 15%). Among 97 children aged 0–4 years with bronchiolitis who underwent testing for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), 37% had RSV. The most common nonrespiratory complication was seizures in children aged 0–17 years (17% had a history of prior seizures) and sepsis in adults. Among adults (n = 16,057), factors most strongly associated with ARF included chronic renal disease (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.5; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2.2–2.8), male sex (AOR 1.5 95% CI 1.4–1.7) and age ≥65 years (AOR 1.4 95% CI 1.2–1.7); the factor most strongly associated with sepsis was chronic neuromuscular disease (AOR 1.5 95% CI 1.3–1.8). Conclusion Influenza hospitalizations are associated with a broad spectrum of complications including pneumonia, respiratory failure, sepsis, ARF and seizures. During the influenza season, astute clinicians should keep influenza in the differential diagnosis for patients with a wide range of presentations. :Disclosures. H. K.

Abstract Background A study of respiratory syncytial virus-A (RSV A) genotype ON1 genetic variability and clinical severity in infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis over 6 epidemic seasons (2012–2013 to 2017–2018) was carried out. Methods From prospectively enrolled term infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis, samples positive for RSV A ON1 (N = 139) were sequenced in the second half of the G gene. Patients’ clinical data were obtained from medical files and each infant was assigned a clinical severity score. ANOVA comparison and adjusted multinomial logistic regression were used to evaluate clinical severity score and clinical parameters. Results The phylogenetic analysis of 54 strains showed 3 distinct clades; sequences in the last 2 seasons differed from previous seasons. The most divergent and numerous cluster of 2017–2018 strains was characterized by a novel pattern of amino acid changes, some in antigenic sites. Several amino acid changes altered predicted glycosylation sites, with acquisition of around 10 new O-glycosylation sites. Clinical severity of bronchiolitis increased in 2016–2017 and 2017–2018 and changed according to the epidemic seasons only. Conclusions Amino acid changes in the hypervariable part of G protein may have altered functions and/or changed its immunogenicity, leading to an impact on disease severity.

It is controversial whether it is cost-beneficial for late preterm infants to receive respiratory syncytial virus prophylaxis. This study compares community and hospital health care resource utilization (HCRU) of late premature infants (33-36 weeks gestational age) with term infants (>36 weeks gestational age) hospitalized with bronchiolitis. This was a retrospective, population-based, observational study spanning a 9-year period (2004-2012). HCRU data were obtained from the Health Maintenance Organization “Clalit” and included duration of hospitalization, physician visits, laboratory tests, and treatments. Compared with term infants, late preterm infants had significantly longer duration of hospitalization and higher admission rates to pediatric intensive care unit. They also had higher rates of mean outpatients clinic visits, total outpatient clinic and specialist visits, blood chemistry, and virology testing. HCRU of term infants with bronchiolitis was also substantial, indicating that they also can greatly benefit from respiratory syncytial virus prophylaxis. These findings can guide stakeholders in decisions concerning the prevention of bronchiolitis and will be useful in performing further cost-benefit analysis.

Abstract Background The role of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the development of asthma/wheezing (AW) has been evaluated in several studies, mostly among pre-term infants or among infants after developing severe RSV-related disease. We describe the cumulative incidence (CI) of AW among hospitalized/ambulatory neonates/infants/toddlers after RSV/bronchiolitis infection diagnosis, in a large clinical database. Methods Using deidentified Optum Integrated commercial claims and electronic medical records, we identified patients (0–<3 years old) with a first clinical diagnosis of RSV/bronchiolitis infection from 01 January 2008–31 March 2016. Patients with a diagnosis of asthma/wheezing ≤30 days after first RSV/bronchiolitis diagnosis were excluded. Three cohorts were created with 1/3/5 years of follow-up time required, respectively. Patients were grouped by specific high-risk factors (HRF+/−), including pre-term births and predefined pre-existing disease. Descriptive statistics are reported, with comparisons made by logistic regression analyses. Results 9,811/4,524/1,788 patients with RSV/bronchiolitis infection and HRF− were included in the 1/3/5-years follow-up cohorts. 14.9%/28.2%/36.3% had AW events by the end of follow-up in the three cohorts. 6.5%/6.9%/5.8% were hospitalized for RSV/bronchiolitis. 3,030/1,378/552 patients with RSV/bronchiolitis infection and HRF+ were included in the 1/3/5-years follow-up cohorts. 18.1%/32.9%/37.9% had AW events by the end of follow-up in the three cohorts. 11.4%/11.1%/11.6% were hospitalized for RSV/bronchiolitis. The CI rates of AW in the 1/3/5-year HRF+/− cohorts, stratified by hospitalized for RSV/bronchiolitis Y/N, are shown in Figure 1. Logistic regression confirmed that hospitalization for RSV/bronchiolitis was associated with an increased (P < 0.05) likelihood of AW, for HRF+ and HRF− patients at each follow-up year. Conclusion Thirty-eight percent of RSV/bronchiolitis infants/neonates/toddlers HRF+, and 36% among infants/neonates/toddlers HRF−, developed AW in the 5 years after first RSV/bronchiolitis diagnosis. RSV/bronchiolitis hospitalization was associated with a significantly increased risk of AW development in 1/3/5 years of follow-up; confirming previous observational study results. Disclosures V.

Abstract Objectives Risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome include premature birth, maternal smoking, prone or side sleeping position, sleeping with blankets, sharing a sleeping surface with an adult, and sleeping without an adult in the room. In this study, we compare parents’ responses on sleep patterns in premature and term infants with medical complexity. Methods Parents of children enrolled in the Canadian Respiratory Syncytial Virus Evaluation Study of Palivizumab were phoned monthly regarding their child’s health status until the end of each respiratory syncytial virus season. Baseline data were obtained on patient demographics, medical history, and neonatal course. Responses on adherence to safe sleep recommendations were recorded as part of the assessment. Results A total of 2,526 preterms and 670 term infants with medical complexity were enrolled. Statistically significant differences were found in maternal smoking rates between the two groups: 13.3% (preterm); 9.3% (term) infants (χ 2=8.1, df=1, P=0.004) and with respect to toys in the crib: 12.3% (term) versus 5.8% preterms (χ 2=24.5, df=1, P<0.0005). Preterm infants were also significantly more likely to be placed prone to sleep (8.8%), compared with term infants (3.3%), (χ 2=18.1, df=1, P<0.0005). Conclusion All the infants in this study had frequent medical contacts. There is a greater prevalence of some risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome in preterm infants compared to term infants with medical complexity. Specific educational interventions for vulnerable infants may be necessary.
