Analyzed ER visits among children under 5 years for acute respiratory infections.
Evaluated hospitalization rates linked to RSV infections.
Investigated prevention strategies for reducing ER burden.
RSV infections are a major contributor to ER visits in young children.
There is a significant rate of hospitalization associated with acute respiratory infections.
Adopting prevention strategies may lead to reduced patient burden in the ER.

Implication

Reports the impact of acute respiratory infections on ER visits in young children, highlighting prevention strategies.
