Varied seasonal patterns of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) have been reported worldwide. We conducted a systematic review on articles identified in PubMed reporting RSV seasonality based on data collected before 1 January 2020. RSV seasonal patterns were examined by geographic location, calendar month, analytic method, and meteorological factors including temperature and absolute humidity. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between RSV seasonality and study methods and characteristics of study locations. RSV seasons were reported in 209 articles published in 1973-2023 for 317 locations in 77 countries. Regular RSV seasons were similarly reported in countries in temperate regions, with highly variable seasons identified in subtropical and tropical countries. Longer durations of RSV seasons were associated with a higher daily average mean temperature and daily average mean absolute humidity. The global seasonal patterns of RSV provided important information for optimizing interventions against RSV infection.
全球已报告呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）有多种季节性模式。我们对在PubMed中确定的、基于2020年1月1日前收集的数据报告RSV季节性的文章进行了系统综述。通过地理位置、日历月份、分析方法以及包括温度和绝对湿度在内的气象因素来研究RSV的季节性模式。进行了相关性和回归分析，以探讨RSV季节性与研究方法及研究地点特征之间的关系。1973年至2023年发表的209篇文章报告了77个国家317个地点的RSV季节情况。温带地区国家同样报告了规律的RSV季节，而亚热带和热带国家的季节情况差异很大。RSV季节持续时间较长与日平均气温和日平均绝对湿度较高有关。RSV的全球季节性模式为优化针对RSV感染的干预措施提供了重要信息。
