RSV is a leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infection, bronchiolitis, and pneumonia in children under […]
Preterm Birth Frequency and Associated Outcomes From the MATISSE (Maternal Immunization Study for Safety and Efficacy) Maternal Trial of the Bivalent Respiratory Syncytial Virus Prefusion F Protein Vaccine
Objective To describe preterm birth frequency and newborn and infant outcomes overall and among preterm children in the MATISSE (Maternal Immunization Study for Safety and Efficacy) trial of maternal vaccination with bivalent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prefusion F protein–based vaccine (RSVpreF) to protect infants against severe RSV-associated illness. Methods MATISSE was a global, phase 3, […]

Despite remarkable progress in child survival, newborn deaths remain a major challenge in Bangladesh. According to recent estimates , about 60,000 newborns die each year in the country, with nearly three-quarters of these deaths occurring in the first week of life.
