Abstract Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common respiratory illness, with certain populations at higher risk of severe disease including pediatric patients, older adults, and those with compromised immune systems. The current analyses aim to examine the signs and symptoms (S qualifying once per season) were randomly selected for comprehensive review of S 5; at-risk adults: 18-64, 65+). Results A total of 890 and 661 patients were randomly selected from S1 and S2, respectively. Demographics are presented in Table 1 and S&S are presented in Table 2. Overall S&S incidence in children and adults had overlapping similarities, with common S&S (e.g. cough, altered breathing sounds, hypoxemia) found in all age groups. Certain S&S were higher among pediatric patients (e.g. nasal congestion, fever, appetite loss/feeding problems) while other S&S were higher in older adults (e.g. fatigue). Incidence patterns were similar between both seasons of the predominant S&S found across age groups. Conclusion This real-world analysis of RSV patients revealed some overlapping similarities of RSV S&S present at the point of hospitalization. Further characterization of RSV signs & symptoms can help inform natural history of the disease and timely interventions. Disclosures Sima S.
