Limitations
•Model Structure
•No risk groups
•No dynamic transmission. No impact of the vaccine on transmission and 
indirect effects
•Uncertain inputs
•RSVpreF cost 
•QALYs lost 
•Upper respiratory tract infections
•Prematurity
•Assumption: no infants will be receiving nirsevimab

•RSVpreF has the potential to be cost -effective
•Results sensitive to:
•Rate of prematurity 
•Cost per dose (~65,000 –68$/QALY)
•Hospitalization Costs (Cost -saving –440,000 $/QALY)
•Efficacy (~280,000 –680,000 $/QALY)
•QALYs lost (~100,000 –800,000 $/QALY)
•Month of Administration (~110,000 –Millions $/QALY)

•On August 3, 2023, the Advisory Committee on Immunization 
Practices (ACIP) recommended use of nirsevimab
•How should we think about combinations of RSVpreF and 
nirsevimab ?
•If we know RSVpreF has been administered in time, how cost -effective is it to 
provide nirsevimab ?
•If we know the infant will receive nirsevimab , how cost -effective is it to 
provide RSVpreF ?Methods: Study questions
•RSVpreF will be administered in weeks 32 -36
•Because of this, we are assuming the infant is full -term, and therefore, there is no need for 
palivizumab for any newborns considered in this analysis
•Consideration of higher -risk populations (but assuming they are not premature)
•New timing of RSVpreF administrationUpdates since June
Methods: Intervention effectiveness
•NO evidence of efficacy on the combined use of these products
•Assumption:
•Efficacy equal to the highest of nirsevimab or RSVpreF :
•Efficacy would not be higher than from the most effective product

•Limitation:
•No efficacy data for combination of products
•Nirsevimab may add additional protection on top of RSVpreF , 
particularly for higher -risk infants.
•Adding RSVpreF on top of nirsevimab adds marginal effectiveness at

Methods: Inputs
•Incidence
•Raw reported incidence may be underreported because of imperfect PCR 
sensitivity, so we consider an additional scenario in sensitivity analysis:
•based on CDC Unpublished re -analysis of raw data from Zhang et al study which found 
decreased RSV PCR sensitivity in light of paired serology testing (adjustment factor: 
87.6%).

Health -Related Quality -of-Life
•Sources
•Glaser (2022)
•Estimate based on comparison of utility losses between premature children who had RSV vs. 
premature children without RSV and their caregivers
•Used as base case for hospitalization for children and their caregivers
•Regnier (2013) 
•Estimate QALY losses for hospitalization, ED visits, and outpatient visits for children with 
pertussis 
•Use relative QALYs between hospitalization, ED, and outpatient to estimate base losses for ED 
and outpatient in base case
•JIVE RSV Utilities Survey (2021)
•Estimates QALY losses for hospitalization and outpatient visits for child and caregiver
•Estimates may be impacted by COVID -related concerns about respiratory viruses
•Inform upper bound of range

delivery
•RSVpreF for pregnant persons who will give nirsevimab to their newborns
•Single individual
•Evaluate by month of year
•Perspective: Societal
•Timeframe: 1 year (1 RSV season)
