Maternal pre-eclampsia and respiratory syncytial virus disease in infant
FY 2024-25
Summary
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) related hospitalization is the leading cause of infant hospitalization in Canada. Despite recent progress in vaccine efforts to prevent severe RSV infection, challenges remain in deciding which mother or infant to immunize and when. Identifying children at the highest risk of RSV hospitalization can help accelerate disease prevention efforts and reduce the burden of RSV, especially due as RSV immunization products may not be accessible to all infants. This study will investigate if children born of a pregnancy complicated by maternal pre-eclampsia are at greater risk of RSV hospitalization. Findings from this study will help inform future ways of identifying children (or mothers) at high risk of infant RSV, potentially enhancing targeted prevention.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) related hospitalization is the leading cause of infant hospitalization in Canada. Despite recent progress in vaccine efforts to prevent severe RSV infection, challenges remain in deciding which mother or infant to immunize and when. Identifying children at the highest risk of RSV hospitalization can help accelerate disease prevention efforts and reduce the burden of RSV, especially due as RSV immunization products may not be accessible to all infants. This study will investigate if children born of a pregnancy complicated by maternal pre-eclampsia are at greater risk of RSV hospitalization. Findings from this study will help inform future ways of identifying children (or mothers) at high risk of infant RSV, potentially enhancing targeted prevention.
