Outline
RESCEU - introduction € 29M (2017-2021) Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) Project to build evidence base on RSV disease burden and associated economic impact in Europe to§ inform vaccine policy and improve clinical management of RSV
cases§ build pan European stakeholder community for RSV; actively
engage stakeholders to improve strategic planning and decision making
§ create a powerful new bio-repository for future research using existing and prospectively collecting clinically annotated biological specimens
§ collaborate with regulatory authorities (EMA and FDA) to ensure required regulatory input for clinical platform development and to conduct clinical trials
§ establish an ethics/governance framework that will allow wide stakeholder engagement including national and international public health agencies, pharmaceutical industry and regulators.

Primary Outputs
• National estimates of weekly number and annual rates of RSV-associated:
• Hospital admissions• ICU admissions• GP consultations• Deaths• (and all associated healthcare costs)
• Risk factors for severe RSV-associated disease (including maternal and perinatal characteristics)
• Generate new evidence of the association between RSV and asthma/wheeze
• Recruitment for clinical studies• Linkage of health records from EU countries• Publications of systematic review

RSV-ARI burden in adults ≥65 years
Economic burden due to RSV-ALRI in children
• Systematic review of review of published literature (Global Health, Medline and EMBASE) and assembly of unpublished data reporting costs related to RSV-ALRI in children <5y
• Inclusion criteria• published between 1 Jan 2000 and 30th September 2017• reporting cost data on RSV management in children < 60
months• Total costs per patient / episode were extracted from the
studies and adjusted to reflect 2017 USD and then converted all costs to € 2017.
• Meta-analyses of cost per episode and LOS was quantified using sample size weighted, random effects model in Stata V.12
• Global costs of RSV management modelled using RSV estimates for 2015 at global and regional levels

• 41 studies reporting data from 365,828 RSV disease episodes identified.
• 78% of studies based Europe, North Americas and Australia. No studies from Africa
• Average cost per episode Ø€ 299 (95% CI: 295 – 303) for outpatient management
without follow-upØ€ 2,191 (2,190 – 2,192) for outpatient with follow-up for 2

• Method• Monthly viral activity data from systematic literature
review, online dataset and RSV GEN• Annual average percentage (AAP) reported as the measure
of viral activity on a monthly basis• Duration of epidemic defined as minimum number of
months that account for ≥75% of annual positives, with each month being an epidemic month
• Modelling of flu and RSV activity using temperature and relative humidity; online prediction tool developed

Global seasonality of RSV
• RESCEU has made substantial progress in the last 34 months
• Reported first global burden estimates for RSV in adults ≥65 years; economic burden in children <5 years; and a model to predict RSV seasonality worldwide
• In the next 24 months several FIRST AND EXCITING RESULTS expected
• Global RSV burden in pre-term infants• RSV Burden in young children, adults ≥65 years and
adults with COPD in Europe (from prospective cohort studies) and data-linkage studies
• Biomarkers for severe RSV
