Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study is to describe the incidence of RSV-associated LRI among infants \<1 year of age presenting to the ED during selected shoulder months.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

* The primary objective of this study is to describe the incidence of RSV-associated LRI or apnea (% RSV positive) among infants \<1 year of age presenting to the ED during selected shoulder months. The total number of events will also be described.
* To characterize the clinical outcomes and demographic data of infants presenting to the ED with RSV-associated LRI or apnea
* To characterize the social burden (in the form of number of days lost from work by parent/ guardian) for these infants through 14 days after the index ED visit and through hospital discharge will also be described.
* Based on a sample of cases collected in a cohort of patients enrolled at or near the peak of RSV disease during the traditional season, a comparison of the rate of RSV between shoulder and peak periods will be described.
* To describe the overall rates of RSV-associated LRI or apnea based on the general ED statistics collected during the entire study period.

B) Apnea, defined as either:

1. Cessation of breathing for \>20 seconds by history or observation, or
2. Cessation of breathing for any length of time if accompanied by cyanosis or pallor, bradycardia as detected by a monitor, or
3. ED primary diagnosis of apnea
