RSV can cause severe lower respiratory tract infections in older adults, leading to an increase of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of hospitalizations due to RSV infections in the Abruzzo region of Italy among patients aged over 60\u2009years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective study was performed in the Abruzzo region, evaluating all hospitalizations performed during years 2018\u20132023. Age\u2010 and gender\u2010standardized hospitalization rates for RSV were calculated.

An additional RSV\u2010attributable burden was estimated by applying a literature\u2010derived attributable fraction to hospitalizations for unspecified viral bronchiolitis and pneumonia, resulting in an estimated total of 67 RSV\u2010attributable admissions. Annual age\u2010 and sex\u2010standardized RSV\u2010coded hospitalization rates showed substantial year\u2010to\u2010year variability. Poisson regression with correction for overdispersion identified no statistically significant temporal trend during the study period (IRR per calendar year 1.08, 95% CI 0.86\u20131.34;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.516).

However, substantial year\u2010to\u2010year variability and the small number of RSV\u2010coded admissions warrant cautious interpretation of temporal patterns.
