This meta-analysis reviewed the real-world effectiveness of RSV prophylactics in pediatric populations, focusing on nirsevimab and maternal RSVpreF vaccination. The study found that nirsevimab had an 80.9% effectiveness against RSV-associated hospitalization, while maternal vaccination showed 79.1% effectiveness. The analysis included data from 43 observational studies.

Key findings

  • Nirsevimab demonstrated an 80.9% effectiveness against RSV-associated hospitalization.
  • Maternal RSVpreF vaccination showed a 79.1% effectiveness in preventing RSV-related hospitalizations.
  • The review emphasizes the importance of equitable access to these prophylactic strategies.

Why it matters

Understanding the effectiveness of new RSV prophylactics is crucial for clinicians managing pediatric patients, particularly in high-risk groups. These findings can inform clinical decisions and public health strategies to reduce RSV-related morbidity.
