The RSV GOLD project is the first global mortality registry for children in whom respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was identified as a pathogen. Dedicated researchers at the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital at University Medical Center Utrecht are collecting data of children under 5 that have died after respiratory infection with RSV. Health care providers and researchers from all over the world are encouraged to collaborate and share cases. The aim is to understand clinical and socio-economic characteristics of children who die with RSV infection and to identify the main risk factors for child mortality due to RSV. This project is funded by the “Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation”.
