• Older adult RSV peaks lag infant RSV peaks by 4 weeks, with a cross-correlation of r=0.79. — Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) notifications and trends in the transmission cycles from infants and young children to older adults in Ireland: an analysis of incidence shifts over a decade
• The correlation between older adult RSV rates and 1–4 year old rates at a 4-week lag was 0.86, and was statistically significant. — Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) notifications and trends in the transmission cycles from infants and young children to older adults in Ireland: an analysis of incidence shifts over a decade
• Infants and young children are the primary drivers of community RSV transmission cycles, a pattern termed the RSV march. — Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) notifications and trends in the transmission cycles from infants and young children to older adults in Ireland: an analysis of incidence shifts over a decade
• The 3–5 week predictive window between paediatric and older adult RSV peaks enables health systems to activate critical care contingency planning before the older adult surge arrives. — Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) notifications and trends in the transmission cycles from infants and young children to older adults in Ireland: an analysis of incidence shifts over a decade
• Immunisation strategies targeting infant-level transmission could indirectly protect older adults through reduced community RSV circulation. — Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) notifications and trends in the transmission cycles from infants and young children to older adults in Ireland: an analysis of incidence shifts over a decade
