Infant Susceptibility to Pulmonary Infections and Asthma Following RSV Exposure study (INSPIRE)
INSPIRE is a population based longitudinal birth cohort of over 1,900 term healthy infants, recruited from either paediatric practices in Middle Tennessee, United States of America, or self-referral through research announcements. Infants who were enrolled in the study had their birthdays within 2 periods spanning from the beginning of June to the end of December in 2012 and 2013, so that infants were on average younger than 6 months of age during winter virus season, when RSV infection is likely to both represent the first and most severe infection.
