The monoclonal antibody nirsevimab was at least 70% effective in preventing hospitalisations in infants with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) positive for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in Spain (Oct 2023-Jan 2024), where a universal immunisation programme began late September (coverage range: 79-99%). High protection was confirmed by two methodological designs (screening and test-negative) in a multicentre active surveillance in nine hospitals in three regions. No protection against RSV-negative LRTI-hospitalisations was shown. These interim results could guide public-health decision-making.
单克隆抗体 nirsevimab 在西班牙预防呼吸道合胞病毒 (RSV) 阳性的下呼吸道感染 (LRTI) 住院的有效性至少为 70%(2023 年 10 月至 2024 年 1 月),该地区于 9 月底开始实施普遍免疫计划(覆盖范围:79-99%)。在三个地区的九家医院进行的多中心主动监测中,两种方法设计(筛查和阴性检测)证实了高度保护作用。但该疫苗对 RSV 阴性 LRTI 住院没有保护作用。这些中期结果可能为公共卫生决策提供指导。
