Respiratory sincizial (RSV) bronchiolitis
Conditions
Brief summary
Overall respiratory morbidity (composite primary endpoint), whose definition is: a) LRTIs by any pathogen (including, but not limited to RSV); b) recurrent wheezing (quantified as presence of wheezing days and/or need for use of antiwheezing drugs ) +/- asthma
Detailed description
Difference of number of RSV-related hospitalizations due to low respiratory tract infection during the first RSV-season (November 1st- March 31th) between Group A and Group B., Direct costs in terms of difference of health resources used by Group A and Group B respectively and related to: lenght of hospitalizations(days);mechanical ventilation and other support therapies(type, number, duration);Intensive Care Unit admission and lenght of stay(days);outpatient visits(type and number of specialistic visits);drugs(type, dosage and therapy duration);diagnostic tests(type and number).Costs for resources used will be calculated using National Health Service tariffs, Indirect costs in terms of loss of working days for due to child illness
