This observational study was designed to collect data in a high-risk population of adults with exposure to children who might exhibit both high rates of infection and severe illness when infected with RSV. This was a prospective and observational study conducted across multiple consecutive RSV seasons to determine the incidence rate of medically attended acute respiratory illness (MARI) or events leading to worsening cardiorespiratory status in adults with severe COPD and/or advanced CHF associated with RSV and other viral infections.
