Summary

This study looks at how serious respiratory infections (like flu, COVID-19, and RSV) affect the ability of adults aged 60 and older to live independently. Researchers will follow 1,600 hospitalized seniors across multiple countries to track changes in daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and managing medications. The goal is to better understand which infections cause the most functional decline and to help design better prevention and vaccination programs.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population will include participants aged 60 years or older who are hospitalized with a serious acute respiratory infection in the departments of infectious diseases, geriatrics, internal medicine, pulmonology, or emergency medicine. Recruitment will be conducted by investigator physicians in each participating department. Potentially eligible participants will be identified by daily screening of admission records and results from standard of care respiratory samples. Each country will aim to recruit approximately 320 participants - 80 with each pathogen of interest. Efforts will be made to secure an equal distribution of participants aged 60-75 and \>75 years age.
