In a prospective study, risk factors for mechanical ventilation were identified in 102 patients with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection admitted to the Sophia Children's Hospital, Rotterdam. Age, weight on admission and prematurity were associated with the need for mechanical ventilation. Using multivariate analysis, only low weight was an independent risk factor for mechanical ventilation. For infants weighing less than 5 kg the relative risk for mechanical ventilation was 4.4 (95% confidential interval 1.3-13.9).
In a prospective study in 86 children with respiratory syncytial virus infections, no relation was detected between the severity of infection (based on diagnosis, chest radiography findings, need for mechanical ventilation, and duration of hospitalisation) and serum concentrations of IgG, IgA, IgM, and IgG1-4 on admission.
