Association of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection and Underlying Risk Factors for Death Among Young Infants Who Died at University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka Zambia.

Other than congenital cardiac conditions, we found a lack of association between RSV and underlying risk factors. This differs from high-income settings, where RSV mortality is concentrated among high-risk infants. In this population, birth-related outcomes are the highest mortality risk factors. Improved neonatal care remains crucial in the fight against neonatal mortality.
