Introduction
Palivizumab efficacy shows variation between 45 to 78% reduction of hospitalizations
for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) depending on the type of risk-group studied.
Based on RSV epidemiology and the risk groups that were targeted in clinical trials
current recommendations limit palivizumab utilization to specific age groups. While
evidence supports the effect of increasing age on decreasing infection risk, it is
unknown whether age modifies palivizumab effectiveness as well.
Results
Discussion
The analysis included 14,549 children and 21,825 child-seasons. Censoring occurred because of season end (n=9,001),
end of eligibility (n=8,889), 2nd birthday (n=3,341), non-RSV hospitalization (n=542), and death (n=52).

Objectives: To estimate the effect of age on palivizumab effectiveness in
preventing RSV hospitalizations in high-risk children.
The single most important risk factor for RSV
infections was age. With every day of age, RSV risk
decreased by 0.34% (95% CI: 0.24-0.44), amounting
to 9.66% (6.94-12.30) per month of age.
Consequently, children at 6 months of age experience
a 34% reduction in RSV risk, 51% reduction at age 9
months, 64% at 12 months, 80% at 18 months and
89% at 24 months, each compared to 2 month old
infants (Figure).

Given the age-related decreasing risk and differences
in palivizumab effectiveness, numbers needed to
treat for the two age strata are as follows:
Age 2-12 months: NNT=34 per 6-months season
Age 13-24 months: NNT=327 per 6-months season
Limitations
RSV hospitalizations may be misclassified as nonspecific pneumonia or bronchiolitis.
Residual (unmeasured) confounding may exist.
Conclusions
Age appears to be a significant effect modifier of the
impact of palivizumab on RSV hospitalization risk.
Given the rapid decrease of RSV risk with increasing
age and the effect modification, careful examination of
age thresholds for immunoprophylaxis is warranted.
