Imputed Hospitalization Rate for RSV at the State Level

Rates were estimated by combining values from RSV-Net with those from NSSP and NHSN to obtain combined time series of RSV hospital admissions counts. States with overlapping values in both sets underwent interpolation and extrapolation procedures for estimates throughout the time series.

These states were then used to impute values for states that did not have surveillance data within RSV-Net. Calculated RSV hospital admission rates (either interpolated, extrapolated, or imputed) are reported. See the GitHub for code and further description.
