Brief summary

In addition to SarsCov2, the main viral respiratory risks are associated with influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (hMPV) parainfluenza virus (PIV), adenovirus, rhinovirus, coronavirus and others. HMPV is a respiratory virus discovered in 2001. Like RSV, it appears to be a threat in terms of morbidity and mortality in susceptible populations. Overall, viral infections can cause significant functional decline in older patients, with 67% and 25% reported to be at least temporarily housebound or bedridden, respectively. Respiratory viral infections prevent older patients from functioning and performing their daily tasks. They therefore have a significant impact on the older patients and their families. In addition, respiratory viruses are key factors in the exacerbation of chronic diseases. The aims of this study are to provide a better understanding of the role of hMPV compared to common respiratory viruses on morbimortality, risk of dependency, quality of life alteration in older inpatients.

Interventions

OTHERRespiratory viral infection

Respiratory viral infection identified by a positive nasopharyngeal PCR test. The prognostic role of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) infection will be compared with that of other common respiratory viral infections in older hospitalized patients.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of participants with death and/or organ decompensation at Day 180From baseline Day 0 to Day 180Proportion of participants who died and/or experienced at least one major comorbidity decompensation (cardiac, renal, or respiratory) by Day 180.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of participants who diedFrom baseline Day 0 to Day 30, Day 180, Day 365Proportion of participants who died from any cause during follow-up.
Proportion of participants with major organ decompensationFrom baseline Day 0 to Day 30, Day 180, Day 365Proportion of participants experiencing major decompensation of pre-existing comorbidities, including cardiac, renal, or respiratory decompensation.
Proportion of participants with unplanned hospital readmissionFrom baseline Day 0 to Day 30, Day 180, Day 365Proportion of participants experiencing an unplanned hospital readmission during follow-up.
Proportion of participants developing a lower respiratory tract infectionFrom baseline Day 0 to Day 30Proportion of participants developing a lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) following the respiratory viral infection.
Change from baseline in functional dependency assessed by ADL and/or iADL scoresBaseline Day 0, Day 30, Day 180, Day 365Change in functional dependency from baseline, assessed using the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and/or Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (iADL) scores.
Change from baseline in sarcopenia risk assessed by SARC-F scoreBaseline Day 0, Day 30, Day 180, Day 365Change in sarcopenia risk from baseline, assessed using the SARC-F score.
Change from baseline in quality of life assessed by EQ-5D-3LBaseline Day 0, Day 30, Day 180, Day 365Change in health-related quality of life from baseline, assessed using the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire.
Number and type of bacterial and viral co-infectionsBaseline Day 0 to D7Number and type of bacterial and viral co-infections diagnosed at the same time as, or within seven days following, the occurrence of the first respiratory viral infection.
Change in respiratory viral load between Day 0 and Day 7From Day 0 to Day 7Change in viral load between Day 0 and Day 7 for each respiratory virus identified in study participants.
Proportion of participants with death and/or major organ decompensation at Day 30From baseline Day 0 to Day 30Proportion of participants who died and/or experienced major organ decompensation by Day 30. This outcome will be used to assess vaccine effectiveness for vaccine-preventable respiratory viral infections.
