Comparison reveals hospitalization costs of hMPV in adults, indicating healthcare priority needs.
Hospitalization costs on human metapneumovirus (hMPV) are needed to inform healthcare priorities, including vaccine and treatment development. Among 5,775 adult hospitalizations with hMPV or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), hMPV was associated with shorter length of stay but greater frequency of pneumonia, resulting in adjusted mean costs comparable to RSV hospitalization.
