Background: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the second most common cause of lower respiratory tract infections in children. RSV could cause a severe respiratory distress in infants and children less than five years of age. Identifying the contributing factors associated with the severity of acute respiratory infection from RSV in pediatric patients is therefore crucial and thus will lead to more efficient care for the patients and subsequent guideline development to reduce the disease severity.Objectives: To study the factors associated with the severity of acute respiratory infection in pediatric patients with RSV virus at Hua Hin Hospital.Method: This is a retrospective analytical study. The population used in this study was pediatric patients from birth to 15 years of age whom were diagnosed with RSV infection, which was confirmed by laboratory testing and was not associated with other infections. The study was conducted at Hua Hin Hospital, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand. A total of 300 patients from pediatric wards and pediatric intensive care units (PICU) were included into this study by reviewing the electronic medical records and patient register files for a period of 5 years from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2022. The tool used in this study was the validated form recording factors associated with severity of acute respiratory infection among RSV-related pediatric patients. Frequency, Percentage, Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used for statistical analysis.Results: 51.3% of 300 pediatric patients had been found to develop severe symptoms of acute respiratory tract infection. The factors that correlated with the severity of acute respiratory infections in children with RSV were age, underlying disease asthma, home care (p-value <0.05). Other factors were not associated with the severity of acute respiratory infection among RSV-associated pediatric patients at Hua Hin Hospital.
Conclusion: The factors that correlated with the severity of acute respiratory infections in children with RSV were age, underlying disease asthma, home care. Other factors were not associated with the severity of acute respiratory infection among RSV-associated pediatric patients at Hua Hin Hospital.
