Estimating the Undetected Burden of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Hospitalizations in Adults Through Capture–Recapture Methods Open
Introduction Traditional surveillance systems may underestimate the burden caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Capture–recapture methods provide alternatives for estimating the number of RSV‐related hospitalizations in a populatio…

Estimating the Burden of Influenza Hospitalizations Across Multiple Seasons Using Capture-Recapture Open
Background Influenza remains an important cause of hospitalizations in the United States. Estimating the number of influenza hospitalizations is vital for public health decision making. Combining existing surveillance systems through captu…

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Versus Influenza in Hospitalized Adult Patients in the United States: Differences in Demographic and Severity Indicators Open
Background Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is frequently compared with influenza. The Hospitalized Adult Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Network (HAIVEN) conducts studies on the etiology and characteristics of U.S. hospitalized a…

Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Against Hospitalization in the United States, 2019–2020 Open
Background Influenza causes significant morbidity and mortality and stresses hospital resources during periods of increased circulation. We evaluated the effectiveness of the 2019–2020 influenza vaccine against influenza-associated hospita…

Low Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Against A(H3N2)-Associated Hospitalizations in 2016–2017 and 2017–2018 of the Hospitalized Adult Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Network (HAIVEN) Open
Background The 2016–2017 and 2017–2018 influenza seasons were notable for the high number of hospitalizations for influenza A(H3N2) despite vaccine and circulating strain match. Methods We evaluated vaccine effectiveness (VE) against hospi…

Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness in Inpatient and Outpatient Settings in the United States, 2015–2018 Open
Background Demonstration of influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) against hospitalized illness in addition to milder outpatient illness may strengthen vaccination messaging. Our objective was to compare patient characteristics and VE betwee…

Large endocardial rheumatoid nodules: a case report and review of the literature Open
Rheumatoid nodules occur frequently in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and are the most common cutaneous manifestation of the disease. Although uncommon, rheumatoid nodules may also occur on cardiac valves, where they may be large and c…

Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Outcomes Among Hospitalized Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia Open
Children who were overweight or obese, particularly those with asthma, had higher odds of ICU admission or mechanical ventilation. In contrast, adults who were underweight had longer LOS. These results underscore the complex relationship b…

Procalcitonin as a Marker of Etiology in Adults Hospitalized With Community-Acquired Pneumonia Open
No procalcitonin threshold perfectly discriminated between viral and bacterial pathogens, but higher procalcitonin strongly correlated with increased probability of bacterial pathogens, particularly typical bacteria.

Improved Detection of Respiratory Pathogens by Use of High-Quality Sputum with TaqMan Array Card Technology Open
New diagnostic platforms often use nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal (NP/OP) swabs for pathogen detection for patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We applied multipathogen testing to high-quality sputum specimens to…

Statin Use and Hospital Length of Stay Among Adults Hospitalized With Community-acquired Pneumonia Open
In a large prospective study of adults hospitalized with CAP, we found no evidence to suggest that statin use before and during hospitalization improved LOS or in-hospital mortality.

<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Community-acquired Pneumonia: Prevalence, Clinical Characteristics, and Outcomes Open
Despite very low prevalence of S. aureus and, specifically, MRSA, nearly one-third of adults hospitalized with CAP received anti-MRSA antibiotics. The clinical presentation of MRSA CAP overlapped substantially with pneumococcal CAP, highli…
