Racial and ethnic disparities in hospitalization rates for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and bronchiolitis have been a subject of research due to their implications for public health and healthcare equity. This synthesis aims to present the key findings from multiple studies on whether there is a racial disparity in RSV or bronchiolitis hospitalization.
Higher Hospitalization Rates Among Minority Groups:
Differences in Management and Treatment:
Socioeconomic and Demographic Factors:
The research indicates that there are significant racial and ethnic disparities in hospitalization rates and management practices for RSV and bronchiolitis. Hispanic and Black infants in the U.S. are more likely to be hospitalized for bronchiolitis compared to their White and Asian counterparts. Additionally, there are notable differences in the management and treatment of bronchiolitis among different racial and ethnic groups, which may reflect broader systemic issues in healthcare access and delivery. Addressing these disparities requires targeted public health interventions and policies to ensure equitable healthcare for all racial and ethnic groups.
